they look gen to me but ace parts are a bit cheaper for the same thing, though they appear to be out of stock atm.

look at these though :)

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

These are the standard NGK's for this bike, but the once suggested by Benny looks like higher quality, better spark distribution, should give more rapid and equal explosion in the combustion chamber, at list theoretically IE. I would give it a try :) There's only to gain.

they are as they are relatively new on the market .
the iridium plugs were the same when they came out and they are past there best at 5k
the new ones last for 25k thats 5x longer so they will pay for themselves in the long run
so at £25 a set its worth it

I've seen those plugs before but not for the Storm. They have been on the market for a long time and are used in Lamborghini's. With regards to the power output and fuel efficiency, it's a bit like the stick coils. A cleaner spark = more efficiency.

wouldn't be against it, but i'm not sure when i'll be in a postion to do it, i can get a power run for £15, so for £30 plus the price of 2 x ngk plugs and 2 x new style plugs approx another £30ish, so it would cost about 60 to 70 smackers, i could do around summertime when i hope to get my spondon bike sorted....
