I use plexus sprayed on a microfiber applicator. Bugs disolve nicely. Buff with a microfiber cloth. Quick and easy, takes just a minute or two after each ride.

The best thing to do is get a towel or shammy wet& lay it on the windshield for about 10 mins in the sun. After that the bugs will just wipe off, its awesome, then you can wax& clean as needed

On everything but the windshield I just spray on Harley Spray Cleaner & Polish, let it sit for a couple of minutes, and wipe of with a soft clean cloth. On the windshield novus spray cleaner works well.

I hook two electrodes to the bike, pulse it at an ultra sonic rate and they just vibrate off.
Safety Note: ensure the correct frequency is used or the paint will fall off as well.

damp microfiber cloth followed with a dry one. A good coat of Plexus on the windshield keeps it easy to remove bugs. On trips, I carry a baggie with a wet microfiber towel in it to keep the bugs from accumulating too much.

RE: Removing bugs in between washes
I've heard of Plexus, it's used in the Aircraft community. I used to use stuff I thnk was called "Psssssst", it was made for airplane/hellicopter windshields. Worked good on them. I really love the product called Dri-wash n' Guard. A little goes a LONG way, though pricey it's good!
