VEHICLE CODE - VEH

405.
A “motor-driven cycle” is any motorcycle with a motor that displaces less than 150 cubic centimeters. A motor-driven cycle does not include a motorized bicycle, as defined in Section 406.
(Amended by Stats. 1995, Ch. 342, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 1996.)
So it looks to me like it's technically illegal but arguable. "Look, officer, it says 150 on the side cover."
Basically if you are impeding traffic you'll get pulled over but the bike looks big enough visually to not get undue attention.
