There's something getting in the cylinder that's not supposed to be there. Are all plugs fouling similarly? Likely an improper fuel mix (broken MAP sensor, O2 sensor, etc), or a leak in the intake system. Is it just one or two? Probably a cracked head gasket or worn piston rings on those cylinders. There's lots of photo tips on spark plug fouling on the web - the various colors and residues lead to clues as to what's causing it. Need to fix the cause, just changing the plugs won't work.

Iridium plugs can offer better performance and longevity compared to standard plugs, and their design helps reduce fouling due to improved spark efficiency and heat dissipation. However, if your 1997 GSX-R 750 is experiencing plug fouling due to underlying issues like improper tuning, fuel mixture, or engine problems, simply switching to iridium plugs may not resolve the issue.
