My bike's always dirty and looks like shit... That's the beauty of a streetfighter... Reason # 954 to sell the 954... I want a bike that LIKES to be dirty.

Same here. I'm not talking a top to bottom detail...but I hit it with plexus and a microfiber towel all the time. Takes 10 minutes to make it look nice.

I made the decision that I would only wash the wheels every 5k miles on the Buell. They were black, a pain in the ass to clean, and looked like shit after you rode around the block. I don't miss that shit AT ALL.

Well the orange shows brake dust easily...so I like to wipe them down pretty often. Usually just a dry paper towel.

Oh, the front wheel is easy to clean... It's the back wheel that's a BITCH.

Yeah. My pods/airbox/tail look decent. it's the exhaust and wheels that look like shit. Rear is a bitch, expecially with the exhaust blowing on it.

I bought a can of a wash/wax spray stuff that works awesome. I can clean the whole thing in about 10 minutes.

I use Goo-Gone to clean the rear wheel and sometimes the front and then go over them with the quick detailer to get the remnance off the goo-gone off and they're clean as fuck. If you wash them more often the less of a bitch they would be to clean.
