Resuable oil filters?

I want to throw the filter away along with all the junk that it managed to catch.

I don't even want to contemplate trying to get that junk out of the filter so I can use it again.

It's very satisfying dipping one into an ultrasonic cleaner and watching the funk float out.

Only you can decide if the cost is worth the marketing benefits.

I ran one of these stainless mesh filters on my old XR500R. It was not easy to clean, seems I was wasting a lot of spray solvent. Years later I have more knowledge of filtration. Considering the lousy efficiency of these mesh filters, I now prefer to run standard disposable filters. But if you change the oil regularly, I supposed a bike could run well for a very long time with just about any filter as long as it does not fail.
