Thoughts on going from 2016 to 2025 MT 09?

Has anyone here went from a 2016 to a 2025 MT 09?

If so, what are your thoughts on it? Worth it?

I recently sold my 2016 FZ 09 and I was looking at the 2019-2020 MT 09 (orange wheels color combo), but they're all overpriced. People are asking close to 10K CAD.
Hence why I would consider a brand new 2025 instead, which is 13K CAD.

Thanks in advance!

No personal experience with the '25, but every aspect of the new model is an improvement over the 2nd gen.

What they are referring to is that the OE ECM mapping has severe throttle restrictions, especially in 2nd gear.
A flash from a reputable tuner will correct that, essentially giving the bike some gonads.
Aside from the gearing restrictions, the 4th gen is much better.
