I see in his other videos he has the front rack up, maybe he poked a hole in the rad or something and leaked antifreeze, but it looks like its comming from his exhaust too.??

Tubing or connectitions linking the radiator to the overflow bottle loose or cracked. Looks like it happens when the bike is moved around. Don't need much radiator coolant on hot exaust to generate much smoke. Just a guess, but I would definitely inspect the system to rule it out.

Looks like it was coming from the Exhaust , when he gased it it puffed out the rear. Maybe a head gasket or warn rings from a Bad breakin or never changing the Oil.

I don't know what the problem was, but the kameraman sure was happy to get it on film.
