I'm not really sure if this is on topic or not, but for winter storage, this is a bad idea.

Start your bike every once in a while and don't worry about it.

Why? Consumes the gas in the tank and requires you to go to the local station to aquire replacement gasoline. I see that it does not place load on the engine, but how does it hurt?

condensation build up inside the crank case from the cold to hot to cold. bad bad bad. the gas wont destablize in 0*C temperatures, stablizing is for worry warts who watched the staybil commercial and had a gasp-gazum. I cannot tell you how my engines i've stored over a 6 month winter here in wisconsin. i've never had fuel go bad on me, never.

Makes sense. How did your batteries fair in those weather conditions?

I'm with knightslugger on all matters posted here.
An engine does not fully warm up in the winter if it's just idling. Summer time is different.

Idling is different than what I do. I am anywhere between 1.5k and 5.8k rpm and I am continually changing. to temps of 180-195. Now, the whole condensation thing would apply to any cooler summer night you come home... correct?
