CONS

Misses Out on 6th Gear - The Yamaha FZ 25 has a very good mid-range but it lacks top-end punch. Also, it misses out on a 6th gear, which is a big con.

Outdated Instrument Cluster - The new Yamaha FZ 25 is decently loaded with features. It gets a new negative LCD display for the instrument console which isn't very feature-rich and also can't be read properly under direct sunlight.

No Centre Stand - The Yamaha FZ 25 BS6 doesn't get a centre stand and so you have to rely on the side stand only.
