is the horn of the "import car" type sound or is it more like an old "mopar" deep bark?

Good question.
In 1997 I was fully ready to swap out my S3 horn. There was no need.
I might be wrong, but if I had to bet,
the 1125R has some serious "Please Pay Attention" to it.

I'm hoping it'll have a sound more like my mother-in-law's 61 Nash Metropolitan. Sounds like a freakin' freight train. Tiny car...BIIIIG horn!

Although, I suspect the two foot-long trumpets and monster voice coils weigh nearly as much as a ZTL front wheel, LOL.

I got my AMA mag today and page 9 and 10 are a 1125R ad.

The bike is shown on a rear stand...I can't tell what brand...

Hey, that's interesting. There is another thread that is asking this very question. Do you know if the stand is sitting on axle spools?

If not, could I be so bold to ask that you post a scan of the add?

The stand has flat "L" shaped pieces that fit under the swingarm, like any non-spooled stand.

Looks like the garden variety LP stand.
