White Sight Glass

My bike has roughly 60 miles on it, and I changed my oil about 30 miles ago. Today I looked at the sight glass and it was white. It seems to be clearing up, but I was wondering if this is common?

It's about 50 degrees outside and I have taken my bike for a few short zipps. I do let it warm up beforehand.

When I changed the oil I made sure the bike was warm, I drained the oil from the plug at the bottom of the engine. I did notice the oil plug threads looked a little milky like there was anti-seize on it, but figured it was residue from the factory oil. I filled it with 1qt of 20W50 and everything has seemed great, I just randomly noticed the white sight glass today. The oil itself looks clean and not milky at all which leads me to believe this is some sort of natural vapor from the oil. Maybe I did not get the oil hot enough?

If anyone has any info, I would sure appreciate it.

Here is a pic: The oil sits between H & L when the bike is level.
