Spark plug question

An original Tv 175 series 2 6volt. Using a B6 ES spark plug. Do you think this is adequate for the job? The scooter is lightly used so not really an everyday ride. Your thought would be appreciated.

Now I'm confused. I thought NGK rated colder as a lower number so B8 for poodling about (hotter plug, burns more oil) B6 for hard charging and long motorway blasts for a cooler running engine. Maybe I've been wrong all these years. Quite probably!

Thanks, but no harm done, I've always used B8's.
