Arto Nyquist - Stunting on a Z1300 - YouTube2.flv

Arto Nyquist, the Finnish stunt rider, caused a sensation in the 1980's riding a Z1300. Even now 30 years later its damned impressive...not sure there are so many Z1300 tail lights available now either! This is from a LWT programme called Just Amazing presented by Kenny Lynch and Barry Sheene.

In the '80s I saw a KZ-1300 six in the service bay of a SoCal dealership. Beyond its sheer size the most remarkable thing about it was how the lower half of its taillight had been scuffed away, as if by road contact during vertical wheelies. The mechanic said it belonged to Doug Domokos, aka "The Wheelie King", and that he used it for shows. OK, now I understand!

Have seen his skills in a motorbike-journal 1981 ... once there was an advertising badge flat under the engine , was seen only during wheelies .. :) Thank you for posting ,, friendly greets from germany

To make Arto Nyqvists record even more impressive, he did the quarter mile best of 13.01....sitting backwards!

[@Jonsson474]

I remember watching this guy perform at the horse race track in the early 80s. He could skid around on his clogs all day on the dirt track.

[@MrRocko3927]

Dude is bad ass. Doing switchback riding 30 years ago. Damn. Fun to watch

[@vintageprolink]

crazy rider! he's brave on a z1300cc. amazing!

[@satan15151515]

0:15 The way he walks up to the monster and strokes the throttle no doubt he means business.

[@mohsenghadiri1101]

In Iran 80s, bikers used to do wheelie by Suzuki GS1000E with a passenger behind him, not difficult

[@markchampagnie9401]

[@robertcostall9054]

Sure i saw him at le mans 1983 .said to my mate he's riding that thing facing backwards. .reply don't talk pixxed he was aussume I'd never seen anything like that before

[@harleyhasser]

Crazy guy. Amazing stunts. His clog-stunt is one of the best. Watch the speed, crazy. I have seen him 20 years ago in Paderborn. Since this time my talisman at the bike key ring is a little part of his killed tail light :-) Until now, it works-no tail light probs:-)

In response to MrRocko3927 that "Dude" riding the z1300 would of had more than a "bad ass" if he had lost control, and crashed the darned thing.
