I just use a rinseless wash like Tad mentioned. Pre-soak the bugs briefly and they come right off.

Ugh the a great time to check out Echo.

What Year/Make/Model (and paint color) motorcycle? Windshield? Got pics?

Being an old biker myself there is a old biker trick to removing bug exoskeletons.
Take a WET towel that is soaked in HOT water and lay it on the bugs. Do not rub.
Let the towel sit 10-15 minutes. Lift it off & they should come off easy with EcH2o (https://www.carpro-us.com/latest-products/carpro-ech2o-concentrate-17oz-500ml/).

I would keep some EcH2o (https://www.carpro-us.com/latest-products/carpro-ech2o-concentrate-17oz-500ml/) mixture in your saddlebag with a couple of BOA towels (https://www.carpro-us.com/microfiber-towels/carpro-boa-select-bundle-orange-24-x-16/).
I'd get a Spray Bottle w/ Trigger (24 oz.) (https://www.carpro-us.com/spray-bottle-w-trigger-24-oz/wash-mitts-brushes-applicators-tools/) and put in 2oz of Ech2o (https://www.carpro-us.com/latest-products/carpro-ech2o-concentrate-17oz-500ml/) and 20oz of water.
The Ech2o and spray bottle should last you a long time and be less $$$ in the end.
Ech2o is a concentrate. That means you are not paying for water so it is cheaper.
NOTE: Do NOT use the same towel(s) on your paint that you use on your wheels.

Now for that added pizzazz! I'd add half a bottle of the Reload 100ml (https://www.carpro-us.com/coatings-sealants-spray-wax/carpro-reload-100ml/) to the bottle.
Mixture 2oz Ech2o (Ech2o mix 10:1), 2oz of Reload and 20oz of water. Total=24oz
I actually snagged this formula, but I have since dubbed it "Merlin's Magic Elixer".

To be safe, I'd wait two weeks before washing with Reset (https://www.carpro-us.com/daily-deals/carpro-reset-500ml-16-oz/) or spraying with "Elixer".
* It does not take that long for the coating to "cure" but I'd give it that extra time.
