Additional photos of this Kawasaki Green Streak F21M are available here for your perusal.
The Green Streak F21M was Kawasaki’s first mass-produced race bike – each $875 sale included a spare piston, two sets of rings, a wrist-pin bearing, a spare clutch, gaskets, and additional sprockets.
The 238cc single-cylinder, two-stroke air-cooled engine featured a rotary valve intake and was claimed to produce 30 horsepower.
The model was introduced in 1968 in a burgundy color, however for 1969 Kawasaki decided to go with the same Lime Green that Paint by Molly had used on their Daytona road racers. That makes the aptly-named Green Streak the first production Kawasaki to wear its iconic green.
This example is VIN: F242994, Engine #: 403458.
There is no odometer, true mileage is unknown.
The seller acquired it 12 years ago from a private party in Los Angeles, California who had it as a display piece in his garage. The previous owner had the bike restored to an unknown degree – at the very least, the bodywork was repainted and the seat was recovered.
The seller said it had good compression but only had it on display in his office, so he asked to show that it runs (please see the video up top). There is no kill switch or ignition switch.
Modifications:
Kawasaki, Dunlop, and number plate stickers.
Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:
Inside of the tank:
It is riding on Dunlop Trials Universal tires which have aged out.
The sale includes a reprinted Workshop Manual.
