Can you please send me advice if it's normal?, when the engine is running, i smell gasoline in my exhaust, does it mean my engine is not burning my fuel?

A very faint fuel smell is not necessarily a major problem.
A strong fuel smell (once the bike is warm) probably indicates a dirty air filter, carb issues (leaking float seals / dirty jets / poor tune ...) or a fouled / misfiring plug. Depending when it was last done, a full tune including valve clearances, plugs, air filter, carb clean probably wouldn't go astray.
Are you running stock exhaust and clean stock air filter?
