Irradiums are a good choice as I have heard. They are a NGK plug so you have all the same quality and more. Some of the CB DOHC guys use them. Supposed to work real well with a performance ignition system.

But realy, changing spark plugs on a bike every year is a good bet, they are cheap, and a big part of performance.
