If you look at both plugs side by side you'll notice the center electrode to be much smaller in diameter on the platinum making up for the difference in conductivity .The heat range should be the same ,the standard plug should last 25,000 miles ,the platinum about double.I pull my platinum plug every year to check for fouling, and color,to make sure of conditions such as worn valves,guides,or rings.I then check the plug gap and reinsert the 6 year old plug.If your bike is running good the last think to carry on a trip is a sparkplug ,their to reliable .If you're not planning to put 25,000 miles on your bike this season a standard plug is fine.
