Any "R" version of NGK plugs are resistor, and if you already have resistor caps (likely) then you're adding another 5k of resistance to the coil, reducing spark strength
That would solely depend on whether you have resistor plug caps or not.
Plug caps come in resistor type and non-restistor types. No need for resistor caps if you choose resistor plugs. If you choose resistor caps, no need for resistor plugs.
You can safely choose for yourself depending on what's available to you.
The XD05F caps are 5K ohm resistance. Honda specified resisted caps and plugs for a number of models. Personally I won't run that combination, one or the other but not both.
Thanks! I could also see in the manual that the recommended spark plug is NGK D8EA. P.O put in DR8ES-L in my bike so I'm going to get D8EA instead.
