Default Changed my oil, now im blowing smoke?

Two days ago, i changed the oil and filter on my 2004 zx6r. I rode it around yesterday without an issue whatsoever. Today, i rode about 10 minutes before hoping on the freeway and after doing about 75mph for a minute or two, i noticed in my mirror i was blowing white/blue smoke and also leaking oil from the engine. i cant see yet where the oil is coming from. This happened to me before on one of my cars and it was my head gasket. Does anyone have any advice. Im very mechanically inclined, i know how to rebuild most engines very well, ive built 10+ cars/engines but this is my first bike so im not sure how this couldve happened? Please Help

Are you sure you put the right amount in there? There's cases if you over fill it then its likely to have those symptoms you mentioned.

Indeed. If overfilled, the excess oil will hit the airbox and overflow tube which would then splash onto the exhaust and rear tire. Check your air box for oil as well as for the proper oil level in the case.
