ok to ride?

I am one these guys that doesnt understand basic mechanics etc of bike engines.

I have a brand new 999S, only out at some weekends due to other commitments.

Started up bike in garage on nearly full choke, went indoors to put my gear on 'er indoors had been tidying up and put it all somewhere different............got back into garage and saw some coolant on the floor..temp gauge on bike was 125, took off choke and engine stopped after about 40 seconds or so, took key out off ignition even the key was hot!

is it Ok to ride now or shall I leave ot a while to cool down
