Multi-epoch GHz Very Long Baseline Interferometry ( VLBI ) data of the radio-loud quasar J1101+7225 were analyzed to estimate the proper motion of extended optically thin jet components .
Two components separated from the core could be mapped at 1.66 GHz , which is consistent with earlier observations .
In one case we found evidence of high apparent superluminal motion ( \beta _ { app } = 22.5 \pm 4 ) at large ( deprojected ) distances to the core ( 22 { mas } \sim 4 { kpc, at } z = 1.46 ) .
Typically in other quasars such high separation velocities are only found much closer to the core component .
Furthermore the Doppler factor , the magnetic field strength , and the angular size of the optically thick core were derived using published X-ray data .
Analysis of 5 GHz VLBI data reveals the existence of further jet components within the central 5 mas .
Additionally the data published so far on the GHz-spectrum were discussed at all angular resolutions . J1101+7225 turns out to be a standard quasar for studying different aspects of radio jet kinematics out to kpc-scales .
