Yep....mine does the same, when warming up (usually on choke). But once the bike is on the road and the engineās warm the fumes disappear.
It's partly exhaust fumes and condensation when the engine is cold and is more noticeable in colder winter temperatures....

If you study the following pic carefully you may just see a hint of smoke from the 'zorst: If that's all you're getting then it's just as Jake said, mostly condensation from the exhaust steaming off and a bit of unburnt/poorly burnt fuel from being on choke. If it's any thicker, or a different colour then you may have a problem, but I doubt it.

Mine smokes too for the first few minutes starting from cold. It's white smoke, which I was told is okay (as long as it goes away). It's blue smoke that's bad, as blue can be a sign of burning oil.

You could always check,if the breather pipe.
From the rear cam cover to the air box.Isn't twisted or kinked.
As this can cause the engine to pressurize,& force oil into the air box.
The oil then drains into the carbies,& causes.The bike to smoke,on start up.
I had this,the first time.I did the valve clearances.
It was a big relief,when I'd found out what I'd done!
