I was amused some years ago when I ordered some spare magazines from a California company. Magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are illegal in California and I'd ordered a mix. The 10 round mags were shipped from the company's California warehouse, the others from Las Vegas. At least one of my bikes is a 49 state model, illegal in CA. The same bike, a DR650, hasn't been sold in Europe since the early 2000s. I think Suzuki does make a version with additional plumbing that can be sold in CA but meeting European emission requirements was too heavy a lift. I believe is states rights. CA can do whatever they want to do but they can FOAD if they want to impose their idiocy elsewhere.
