Buying a motorcycle in California with Canadian License

[no_trying]

Can you buy a motorcycle in California with Canadian License and be able to register the vehicle at DMV? How long is Canadian License valid in California?

I know for a fact California doesn't issue California License if you turn in your Canadian License like other states. You have to retake all driving/written exams.

Any advice.

Yes you can replace your Canadian DL in California or another state.
As far as regulation goes nowadays you need to bring your Canadian Passport with valid US status, as far as I know you don't need a DL if you are a student or a temporary visitor. I think US recognize Canadian DL.
