If its black smoke its from running rich, Blue smoke is from oil, and white smoke I believe is from coolant or condensation.
Does it have a sweet smell or no smell? Sweet smell = coolant = bad news if it doesn't go away.
If it is condensation will go away (or lessen)after warming up. Usually only see this in cold weather though.

I can't believe what i'm reading. you replaced the master cylinder and didn't think it necessary to bleed the brake system? dude, at this point i don't even want you attempting a bleed for fear you'll *** that up.
I agree here. I think you should have someone check over your work.

I agree with the way knightslugger said it. You need to step way back from the motorcycle so no one gets injured or killed.
