There are gazillions of bikes that are already in California and already meet the requirements. Additionally you can't import a bike with less than 7500 miles, anyway.
Save yourself a bunch of problems and shop smart.

It sounds retarded because it is. It's California law...retarded.
When I was shopping for my last bike I had the naive notion that I could buy a bike anywhere and fly out and drive it back. No, no, no. But I learned about these crappy laws, came to my senses and wised up. Found what I wanted about 30 minutes away; no big hassles. Had a friend drop me off and I rode it home.

In the state of California....
importing a bike with more than 7500 miles on it. It does not matter if it is compliant or not.
If the bike has less than 7500 miles on it it must be smog compliant, a 50 state bike.
from what I can see the in pics it is not a 50 state bike...

If the bike has less than 7500 miles on it, you CAN'T bring it in, smog compliant or not.

I bought an out-of-CA bike and brought it in. Nothing matters but 7.5k miles. The cleanest 49-state bike with 7k miles. Ant be registered no matter what. A super-modified EPA-killer with 8k can be registered in a few minutes as long as the VIN matches your paper work.
