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 http://www.ngkntk.co.uk/technicaltips/sparkplugs.asp if you would like to know more.

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.
