Took out of the new VFR, I cant believe how filthy it is!!! Neither me or my dad have seen one so bad, no wonder the power was dropping off at high RPM!!!

Nowhere near. Seen them dirty enough to appear as a flat surface with all the folds completely full many times.

Pft try harder. It seems triumph sprints manage to make them worse in minutes due to the retarded position of the intake which seems to be particularly useful for sucking up leaves. Maybe they intended to make a garden vac and missed?

Also you should see what happens when a bird goes down the intake at 160mph, that's a fair mess.
