Could have been the clutch if it was slipped at high rpm, or the exhaust. A new car or bike will still have some residue on the exhaust from manufacturing that gets burned off when the exhaust gets really hot.

It may also have been brake pads if you had to slow down really hard.

Could you describe what it smelled like, was it metallic, sweet, stinky, electrical-ish, etc?
