[Mgs] Sabrina

[Max Heim]

Oh, come on... The concept is the same: prominent paired frontal
protrusions. The difference is that hundreds of thousands of the bumpers
were seen on multiple models on several continents, but only (what?) maybe
half-a-dozen of the twincam Triumph engines were seen, only in racing pits.
So it's not surprising that many more people are familar with the bumpers.

As for the purported resemblance, well, the bumpers are certainly more
prominent than those cam cover ends (conical though they may be), and you
don't have to pop the lid for them to catch your eye...
