Hi, on my Electra XS an iridium plug and Shell V Power combination has made the engine more lively, smoother and improved throttle response.
Economy, though not measured, also is improved.
100% worthwhile in my opinion.

An interesting topic. I can't say that I have noticed any difference in any of my bikes, but my car's MPG indicator always showa a better figure on branded fuels than on supermarket stuff. Interesting my son's new Hyundai showed an ignition fault warning light within the first week of ownership. The dealer reset it and told him that this is a common problem if supermarket fuel is used, which seems to indicate that there must be some difference in the quality. He now uses branded fuel and there has been no repeat.
A basically standard Classic Bullet is in a low enough state of tune to burn just about any muck, and in all probability any improvement from using higher graded fuel is perceived rather than actual - in my opinion, anyway!
