Default air filter

I have a fairly standard sv650s k5 ( has a slip on) , need to change air filter , is it worth fitting a K&N or would I be just as well sticking to the standard filter ?
Any one know how much original filter costs ?

cheers Steve

I believe K+N do a washable, OEM replacement filter then. Might be worth it in the long run.
