I just bought a new BMW K1300S and when I first start it the exhaust has white smoke coming out until it warms up. It only has 300 miles on it, is this normal

Did you get the BMW "White Smoke until it warms up" option for $1800?

Have you been having temp-swings and high-humidity lately where you live? If so - normal. So long as the exhaust doesn't smell like coolant. And you'll know it if it does.

Bikes will do that if it's cold out.
