    Could be just a valve clearance taking up as the head warms and expands. I don't think it is anything to worry about.

    Yep.
    Sounds quite normal to me for a bike that is over 20 years old.
    It is quieter than at least one of my bikes when cold.

    Had a similar occurrence a few years ago on my mc22, and ended up sorting by tightening up the header bolts.
