It should be a matter of public record which bikes pass the California DMV
riding test and on which try (1st, 2nd, or 3rd).
But where would one get a hold of that public record?
Does anyone here work for the government who might know where that data
is located or whom to ask that would provide it?

Umm, what's tracked is if the RIDER passes the test. 99.999% of the
bikes in the US are already approved for use here by the FEDERAL
government. The bike is not being tested, the rider is. IOW, they
don't track what your rode, but whether you rode it with some ability
or like a klutz. Good gets you a license, not so good, retest.

The DMV writes down every motorcycle that takes the test and the status.
Anyone who has taken the test has to fill out the forms.
They have the statistics.
The question is how to get those statistics.

Sorry, JoeSchmoe, but the rules of rec.motorcycles (aka "reeky")
prohibit actually anwering any newbie's question.
The obnoxious clique inhabiting reeky will argue endlessly and insult
the newbie and each other, but will *never* give him any useful
information.

As opposed to the above, far more helpful, response.
