Slow down and get the bike running right before trying to ride it. Its a brand new motor. Riding it with the choke on, and twisting the throttle wide open is NOT doing that motor any favors. The rings have not seated to the cylinder walls yet. That or when ever you do get it to run right and it smokes all the time you will know why. Take your time, ask questions here and you will get it. Its a carb problem and sounds easily fixed.
Looking back on that it was quite stupid of me to attempt to ride it when it wasn't running properly, I got no excuse for that
