Example of sparkplug causing intermittent misfire

Honda CBR1000RRR. Customer complaint was a very intermittent miss at idle. If you look at Cyl 3 Green trace of the Ignition Coil Primary Voltage you can see that the spark never jumped the gap. Turned out it was a defective sparkplug. No obvious signs of damage of the plug and unusual as all the sparkplugs had been recently replaced. New plug solved the issue.

I have seen that before on cars and that is where it's nice to have a scope. You know you found the problem and not just throwing parts at it to try.
