Cold Blooded T100

I've had this 2016 Triumph T100 since July. It isn't the water cooled, just has the oil cooler. It always started fine in the summer. Now that it is getting colder here in Arizona (40˚F) it has a heck of a time firing up. I ride almost every day so it doesn't sit much. Still you have to crank it for a long time with the choke before it fires up. Then it needs to warm up for 5 minutes or it will spit and sputter if you try to drive off. Once it is warmed up it runs fine. My question is, is this normal? My old 2008 Honda 230 fires right up every time.
Thanks to all you Triumph owners. This is my first Triumph, I've ridden Jap bikes for 50 years.
