have fitted ngk iridium plugs in the past on my blade and have them on the cb1300 cannot say if they make a noticable difference to the bike but they claim the service life is longer than ordinary plugs and they give a better spark and improved combustion etc unsure if they are worth the extra cost though :|

Using Iridium plugs on my Triarm and my 400/4, got to be worth the extra for the extended service life & benefits, changing plugs on a Triarm aint a 10 minute job... ;)

I run Iridium NGKs in both my GSXRs as got a box of them cheap in the US years ago, less than normal plugs here :grin: Found them to give improved starting and idling but that's it.

I use whatever is the cheapest but the last two batches of NGK's ive had have had duff plugs in them so back to Denso.
