As one answerer stated and as I remember it was at least it was 250cc. And it may well be true, but personally I wouldn't be caught dead, no pun intended, on a freeway with any machine that could only do a top speed of 45mph. With the exception of peek hours the speed limit on fwys is 55mph and only seen in passing on the way to 70mph. Common sense tells you to have enough power to merge safely and just generally get out of the way.
To be sure of the limitations I'd get the DMV handbook for motorcycles or call the DMV.

In any state, as long as the motorcycle is tagged properly and street legal, it can driven on the highway. I have never been to CA, but having seen their traffic jams on the news and TV shows and the like, I might avoid those roads on a scooter, even if it was street legal and tagged.

Looks like they're defining it as more than 149cc now.
=
But for safety's sake, if your motorcycle can't go 60 mph, don't even get on the freeway. You will die.

149cc according to CA motorcycle law. I think you can look it up online at the California DMV website. I know because I got my motorcycle license in CA.

More than a vespa!!! motor driven cycles are not for interstates!!
I'd say a least a 125cc engine but check your laws call "Chp" for answer!!
