99% of the time, there is an underlying issue why the spark plug gets fouled out in the first place, or just plain operator error. I have used many different plug manufacturers over the years and every once in a great while any manufacturers plug will take a crap and stop sparking for no apparent reason. They all do it, not just Champion. Resistors crap out, porcelin cracks, it can happen with any.
The only thing I will say is the quality build of a NGK plug is usually better than a Champion, the Champions often where the bridge and electrode meet they are quite often off center where as a NGK is usually lined up perfectly or darn close. But sometimes that has to do with NGK and their packageing with the nice little sleeve they put in the box, just incase its dropped.

The stock Torch brand plug is so bad anything is better....
This is a very good read.

NGK makes the only spark plug I have EVER SEEN available to buy that will even work in many Honda 4 strokes.. About the diameter of a pencil, and I dare ya to find one thas NOT NGK.. :shrug: I actually tried like hell to find one for my Honda 250X because the NGK's would foul out and not run.. I had ONE and ONLY one Olllllld Denso plug that was the same size that was in an old rusted up junk Honda CT90 I got at an auction years ago... That was the only plug that actually WORKED in the 250X :shrug: I should have saved that spark plug when I sold the bike because I'll be damned if I can find anything BUT NGK for the small hole Hondas anymore :shrug: I'm not a big fan of NGK myself.. I prefer Champion too for the cost and dependability.. For the Hondas I guess I prefer forty year old rusted Denso plugs, but good luck finding one.. :hammer:
Bosch plugs arent all they are cracked up to be from what I have seen over the years. Over the last how many years, when it gets cold outside(like under 10-20 degrees or colder), quite a few of the no starts I see are due to the bosch plugs that were put in. Platinum plugs are harder to produce spark over a conventional style plug and when it gets cold outside it really shows. I refuse to install Bosch plugs in anything because they dont seem to last and dont live up to their claims. Maybe they work fine in a above 30 or 40+ degree enviroment just fine but here in Michigan when it can get pretty cold sometimes below zero they just dont work very well.
