My bike previous to my Fazer ws a 955 speed triple. I loved the bike, had loads of charachter and was great fun for a sunday blast until a valve guide went - I was warned the cost of Triumph ownership would potentially be higher than going Japanese. IMHO the Fazer is the better all rounder and as far as low down grunt I wouldn't say there was much in it comapred with the 955, though the 1050 may be better, The Fazer is physically bigger which suits me as I'm not a small chap and the misses much prefers being a passenger on the Fazer. Hope that helps.
