The F21M was Kawasaki's first attempt at building a racing bike from the ground up and based on the [[Kawasaki F4]]. The F21M was advertised as the "Greenstreak 238" Scrambler. It was marketed mainly as a [[Tourist Trophy]] (TT) scrambles and [[Flat Track]] motorcycle. Kawasaki dropped the 238 in favor of bikes that would sell to motocross riders.
