True. You can no longer get an "off-road" bike converted here in Ca.
That ended on Jan. 31 2004 for all bikes manufactured in 2003 and
earlier.
The bike I was riding is my 1998 EC250 that has had a plate since
around 2000 or so. I do get lots of looks when I ride it on the street.
I also get the chance to meet some of LA's finest every now and then.
All of them (so far) have been super nice. They just ask to check the
registration and we spend a few minutes chatting about how cool a
2-stroke is to ride on the street. It is quite a conversation piece and
a good way to meet other cool motorcycle riders.

Can you actually still get a dual sported EC through CA inspection so its
"fully street legal"? I didn't think that was possible anymore. Here we can't
even get a plate for the newer bikes so the conversions are pointless.
Just the 2-stroke sound will draw cops like a magnet
