Agreed, i'm thinking a tight valve adj causing slightly low compression and an overly rich running condition bluing the exhaust pipe ? I'm am surprised the engine was able to pull 75 mph with a tight valve. :??:
The only other thing I can think of if the valves are within spec is too hot ambient temps to hard of an engine load.
The oil leak, clean the residual oil mess, sprinkle the suspected clean area with baby powder and take the bike on the highway, the origin of the oil leak will be easily found.
