Just wondering, is it normal for my bikes to bog and 4stroke terribly while still heating up to full operational temperature? What's the fastest way to pass this period.

Yes it is normal, the better tuned the carb is the less it will 4 stroke even when cold but if you want to have it do it less, you should just let it sit and idle a bit longer before taking off to ride.
Thats what I do most times, as soon as the engine starts I pull the clutch and either sit there for a couple min's or just lock the clutch lever and get off and putts around for a couple min's while it warms up, it's best to do this anyway, gives all the metal a chance to expand into it's normal position like it will be at operating temps. this is not a must do thing of coarse, but it wont hurt either.
Bottom line here is just let it idle longer before you ride.
