The fact that the smoking has stopped and you don't see oil seeping out from around the base of the head tells me that there isn't a head gasket problem.

Engines that have been sitting for a long time will tend to smoke. Nothing weird about that. If it doesn't come back, there isn't a problem.
And if there isn't a problem, then there is no reason throwing money at it.

To deal with the bike cutting off as it comes down to idle speed, have you tried simply adjusting the idle speed? There is large screw on the side you can turn to raise the idle just a bit.
