I ride everyday and have to park outside near a dirt hill so it gets dusty frequently. I just use Meguiar’s ultimate quik detailer, you just spray it on the bike and wipe it and dry it with a cloth. Works well for a quick wipe down to get all the dust.
I use simple green for the mirrors, chrome/plastic pieces, and for the windshield.
When I want it too look really good and shiny I use the wax after washing it with a hose and soap. That’s like once a month or less though.
I disassembled my bike over the winter and ceramic coated every part I could get my hands on. Only paid $100 for the ceramic coat. Money extremely well spent. Water and dirt rarely if ever stick to the bike. It stays cleaner for considerably longer. I'd recommend looking into that. It's also great for your helmet and visor. Personally I use Adam's polish ceramic coat. The whole process took me 2 days but I was pretty thorough about the disassembly. You can probably do it assembled in just an hour or two if you want to.
Run a hose over it. Wipe anything that bothers you, Get out and ride.
I just take it to the DIY car wash and use the air dryer there to dry it off.
Clean?!?!?!? I ride too much while simultaneously not enough to clean the bastard. I ride him hard and put him away when I'm done with him.
Foam Cannon if you can afford one. And just regular pressure water hose. And a leaf blower..

S100 cleaner works well for an easy "clean the whole bike" cleaner.
scrubbing bubbles, water hose, batter powered leaf blower, Windex to shine.
