Check for worn valve guides.
Also too much oil in the crankcase. Some older British bikes (notoriously BSA) had oil reservoirs in the form of a tank or in the frame. If left sitting, over time they could dump the oil into the crankcase causing smoke and oily exhaust... there was a fix.
What is the make of engine?
