BMC air filter

I think I should change the air filter and am looking at BMC. They have street version and race version, only few dollars difference. It said race one has 25% more air flow than street one. Is it ok to get the race one for just street riding?

The 25% more air flow also means less particle/dirt filtering. I bought the street version because of that.

Get the street version since you have no tracks to do track days on the island. RJeff is correct. more dirt, sand etc will not be filtered and will be allowed into the motor.
