    Easily, the proper sparkplug for my TZ250GP engine was about $125

    Although for a AX100 I think they got tucked

    It's not a race bike so I don't see why a $5 NGK plug won't be fine in it.

    I think I would rather have the spark plug than the bike.

    Many racebikes DO have a $5 NGK.

    $80 for a racebike spark plug would not be an issue.

    $80 for a $5 spark plug on an old bike that has seen better days would make me want to clean up the old one and make it last longer.

    Zerker's Razor : the the shortest answer to most questions beginning with why, is people are stupid.
