List of CA street legal Chinese bikes somewhere?
I'm from NorCal and trying to find CARB compliant/street legal Chinese is proving to be a pain in the butt. Anybody here in Cali registered a Chinese bike? If so what make/model? I think my best bet so far is the Apollo DB-36 250cc, it's supposedly legal in Cali.

That bike is technically CARB Green Sticker for off-road only. The full dirt version has been CARB Green Sticker for a few years now, and the Deluxe model (the 49 state EPA/DOT legal bike) is on the certificate as well. Supposedly, there might be a slight chance that Apollo will obtain CARB certification, but I wouldn't hold my breath. For dual-sport, street-legal Chinese bikes, you have the CSC TT250 (an excellent bike with great support) and the SSR XF250 (unique in that its engine is an exact clone of a Suzuki engine rather than the usual so-called 'Hondoid' engines. There are several Chinese street bikes, however, that are CARB certified for the street.
