Can a 234cc Honda Nighthawk "250" be legally ridden on a freeway in Texas?

Texas law defines a "motor driven cycle" as any motorcycle with less than a 250cc engine, and these are not allowed on freeways. But most "250s" sold by manufacturers have displacements of from 234-249cc. Does Texas have some sort of official designation where bikes in that range are considered to be "motor driven cycles" or are they considered to be "motorcycles" (250cc+). Has anyone ever gotten a ticket for riding a "250", like a 234cc Honda Nighthawk CBR250 on a freeway in Texas?

    I agree, it's legal. In California the cut off is less than 175 cc's I would't hesitate a second.
