I have a yellow Goldwing, and I clean mine with clear water and a microfiber cloth. Wet the bike, wipe it down with a wet microfiber cloth, and then rinse with clear water. Gets all the bugs off, all the road tar, etc. Just don't use soap on a microfiber cloth, and when you wash it, don't use fabric softener. If you do either, it will never be the same. YMMV
