White smoke is usually a sign of a cracked head, in a liquid cooled engine; are you sure it's white, and not blue?  Valve stem seals leaking cause smoke on startup and it would be bluish.  White is an indication of water, and is present at startup in just about all engines, in visible form, in

I'm sure it's just water vapor. It will go away much faster when riding. Just idling the bike in cold weather takes forever to get it hot. When mine was stock 30 degrees required a bit of choke for miles until it would warm up, and if the RPMs got below 4000 then it would cool off again and run
