I doubt the cap or plug resistance does anything other than reduce the peak current to reduce electrical erosion of the electrode (I dont remember if its the center electrode or the ground electrode that loses metal) and also produce less electrical noise that the FCC hates because they guard the radio wave scene.
I prefer a hotter spark instead of plug longevity so I use a cap and plug without resistance.
My conclusion has been that a typical motorcycle ignition system does not produce enough electrical energy at the spark plug to try to use a parallel capacitance for spark modification.
