Both are original finnish bikes, the
black - 83' Z1300 with carburetors and the red - 85' ZG1300 with DFI.
The 85' is in its original shape except the (short cut) exhausts. Driven only

One reason for the 79' - 80's success was a Finnish show driver Arto "Artsi" Nyqvist, who made amazing stunts with it.

On my site there are other pictures and additional information about me. And about the 1300, its 1986 model and is almost original, only the side back added. And as said it belongs to my father and the bike has over 200,000 kilometers under its belt. And approximately half of it with EML sidecar. The bike has taken the kilometers well. Last year it was completely rebuild after missing a gear in 180 kph. And that made little damage to a couple of the gears and so it was completely rebuild.
