A bike must meet the air standards applicable in the year it was made. My bike is a 2005 and comes without a CC. It met emissions standards in TX that year. I'm sure bikes sold in CA in the last year or two had to have CCs simply to meet the ever-tightening air standards. I have no problem with people rolling around on older, non-CC bikes - they were legal when they were sold and still are legal due to grandfather clauses. But you can't buy a 2008, remove the CC and claim it meets 2005 standards so it is legal.
that is the answer to the question.

also, in some states they will not pass inspection with an after market exhaust.
