Well, I'm going to be the sole naysayer of the group and contend that you may not have warped rotors, but do have an uneven deposit of friction material on the disc.
I find it very hard to believe that you have subjected your brakes to such severe abuse that disc temps have exceeded design specification.
There may be a a few owners on this site that can, but most of us mere mortals don't have that level of talent.
I cannot find a relevant article that applies specifically to motorcycle discs, but plenty of automotive related FAQs address this issue.

So, have a brief read, and you may be able to apply this quote from the above article.
"If only a small amount of material has been transferred i.e. if the vibration is just starting, vigorous scrubbing with garnet paper may remove the deposit. As many deposits are not visible, scrub the entire friction surfaces thoroughly. Do not use regular sand paper or emery cloth as the aluminum oxide abrasive material will permeate the cast iron surface and make the condition worse. Do not bead blast or sand blast the discs for the same reason."
