After weeks of researching, I have come to realize that it is nearly impossible to "plate" a California green sticker dirt bike. There are services that I could pay for online to do it, but they do it through trickery, titling the bike out of state, then bringing it back into California, etc. and they're not cheap.
So I turned my attention to street-legal dirt bikes. Just about every manufacturer makes one. As it turns out, for the Honda CRF250F that I want to buy, there is a CRF250L! But a couple of years ago, it got a little makeover with a bigger engine, which means more low end torque! It also comes with a slipper clutch! The difference in price isn't all that much between the dirt bike and the street-legal model. With the fees it would take to title the bike, plus all the accessories that I would have to install on the bike, it only makes sense just to get the enduro version.
But as luck would have it, this CRF300L is pretty hard to get a hold of. They've only been produced since 2020, plus they were hard to get from the dealerships. Used ones are few and far between. I'll keep my eyes peeled on the usual places- FB Marketplace and Craigslist.
