FWIW, it looks good to me.  I just worked on a Triumph today that sparked like that with new plugs and ran great.

You'll need to get a real close up of the spark since video, especially youtube video hardly show any detail, a bad spark is barely visible to the eye and practically invisible to a camcorder. I mean even a good spark would be hard to see in daylight.
