I'd be interested in knowing just how much quicker a TIV with a thermostat really warms up. I don't have a thermostat and my car warms up real quick. I imagine it would make a more dramatic difference in a water cooled engine. I would say a majority of air-cooled engines overall do not have a thermostat... I've never seen an aircooled motorcycle or airplane with a thermostat.
