Nope. My motorcycle smells a little like gasoline. Sometimes I've gotten a different,"scorched" odor if I put wax on the exhaust pipes.

If it's a new bike, it could be burning off assembly lube and preservative residue from manufacture.
If it's not, check the seat. Could be your riding partner - ;-D

I'm no expert on motorcycles, but the few I have seen did not have catalytic converters, so you might just not be accustomed to the copious toxic fumes you're inhaling, if that is the case.

It is either your catalytic converter, most likely from a misadjustment to the air-fuel mix, or it is your girlfriend on the back enjoying herself too much (just kidding, it's the cat)

Perhaps your bike is telling you that you are a squid!

Sounds like you have a passenger that is getting wet.
