I really love James Dean's 1955 Triumph Trophy. I looked at the Triumph site and it comes down to the scrambler or Bonneville, just looking for some opinions. Also it only shows the past two years model range and neither year has the same color and i really want that same bluish color maybe theres an older model with it thats easy to get?

If it comes down to colour, just buy the bonneville variant you want and have it painted.

Harley just released a new Sportster that is pretty similar

Try a t120 650 twin with a sandwich rack on the tank or a Yamaha xs650 twin or (rarer)Kawasaki 650/ 750 twin or a 60's honda black bomber (or Bonnie killers as we called them in U.K.) If budget is limited try 60's 70's honda 250/ 350/ 00/ twins.The shangri la's used a honda 250 twin in Leader of the Pack.
