Went to get some new plugs for me 600RR as they are 1500 miles past thier due date untill i was told the price of them
NGK IMR9C-9H
£18.50 each from CMS (can get discount on this price)
£17.00 each from Busters
£16.00 each from M and P
Been looking on E-Bay and looks like about
£13.00 each plus P&P
Anyone know anywhere else i could get them cheaper??
This is where a twin is beneficial

All plugs are different prices, no idea what makes certain types so expensive.
The ones in my old NC30 were quite pricey too, about £12 each. Safe to say they got used to an inch of their life

Its all down to the heat range of the plug and if it has a built in resistor.
Some bike need to use plug than run better hot and some not so hot etc etc.
Take a look at

well you learn something new... ;)
just glad plugs for my first rxs didnt cost that sort of money each, it used to eat plugs on a regular basis!

On the ZRX owners website we've just done a group buy from a guy in the USA.
Worked out at £20 for 4 NGK iridium plugs inc postage.
I think the guy organising it bought about 15 sets of 4.
Maybe worth doing a similar thing on the CBR owners forum.

Just depends on the Plug. Some are £2.99. IMR9C-9H are £15.96.
