Kawasaki Scrambler, 1966


 Kawasaki introduced and raced this 238cc prototype scrambler in Japan in 1966. The rotary disc engine produced a claimed 28 hp. The frame was purpose-built and the tank was borrowed from the 85cc J-1. Slightly awkward looking in this form, it was released in production as the Green Streak in 1969.
