I probably do a wash 2 times a year if I do not encounter any rain. If rained on I will wash it ASAP. Mine stays pretty clean only had a chance do a lousy 3,000 miles this season. Occasional dust off and quick detailer between washings. I'm kind of in agreement with an earlier poster, too much washing and rubbing on the bike can be detrimental.

I haven't washed Reaper in at least 5 years. The only time she gets a bath is at the dealership when I bring her in for winter storage, and when I take her out in the spring. She's happier that I ride her than spend some of our limited nice times washing her.
Cheers!
Cheers!

I clean them once of year whether they need it or not. This is a serious answer. That is all that I do. Not much time since I'm riding them so much.
Even the ones that I winter ride. My bikes are from 1989 to 2017 and not a one has rust anywhere.
When I had over 5K on the 17 I stopped at the dear. The bike was bug splattered over the fairing, windshield, fender and forks. A walked out to leave and a rider said "Oh! I should have known that was your bike."
