I'm confused as F*** right now and if somebody could explain this to me it would be great.

The left cylinder has a 3/4" hole through the center, carbon buildup around the rim of the cylinder, and the rings are a bit melted, but the cylinder is fine. Sparkplug in full of carbon.

The right cylinder looks like a ninja 250 cylinder with 4000 miles on it and the owner ran good gas and out some seafoam in her every now and then (which is what it is). It also looks like the sparkplug ran for like 5 minuetes (it ran for about 500 miles).

The hole in the piston would suggest lean, but the carbon would suggest rich.

The left side looks like a good running bike, the specs of color on the plug were a nice tan, it was perfect.

Where did my coolant go?
