Default Letting an air cooled bike idle?

What kind of damage would someone do to a DR650 by just starting it up and letting it idle for a half hour every week? I am looking at buying a used bike. It is in great shape. Hasn't been riiden very much at all. The thing is the owner lets it run for about a half hour every week just sitting. Seems to me that this would create too much heat for an air cooled bike. I am worried about major problems down the road.
