When I had to switch over registration from out-of-state to CA for vehicles which I already owned though, AAA could do that.

Noah930 and Steve Carlton, not doubting your words at all, I'm just posting my personal experiences (most recently, two years ago) and what the site says. (Steve, the link works for me, maybe you have a filter that blocks it.)
AAA does not title the vehicles and I had all bills of sale and title papers from the out of state seller.
AAA performed a VIN check on the vehicle, filled out the paperwork, took my documents and fees, gave me a temporary registration card, plates, sticker, and sent the docs off to Sacramento for my title. Why they wouldn't do that for Noah930, I don't know, unless there is a special exemption for motorcycles, or each office may not have a VIN check service, or (heaven forbid) the AAA employees were pulling the DMV "can't be done" routine because they are unaware of their own services or how to perform them.
