Looks pretty good, possibly a little on the lean side. A slightly grayish insulator is what I usually look for.

Blurry. I bet that doesn't help the bike like a clear one would

To truely read a plug you must be riding down the road, rev the engine out and while the engine is revved out kill it and let it come to a stop under load. Then pull the plug and look at it.

Wouldn't that just gas wash, or soot up the plug from the excess gas being pulled through without a spark to fire it ?

That is the correct way to read the plug, it's called a plug chop.Google it.

Nascar does that all the time to check the plugs before the race. Run car at top speed then flip the kill switch.
