Anyone use Iridium plugs or stay with standard plug?

Most use Iridium since they last longer & perform better.

I used Iridium because they worked so well on my weak-coiled Honda. The Voyager has strong coils, but the Iridium plugs require so little power to fire, using them pretty much guarantees no mis-fires, and less un-burned fumes coming out of the pipes. Plus, they should last 100,000 miles on a car, so they should last 50,000-100,000 miles on a bike. Only down-side, is their price: $9-$10 per plug. Cheers!

Iridiums here. Noticed improved throttle response versus standard plugs and i swear my hair began growing thicker.
