Hi-pressure washing is a Very Bad Idea for motorcycles. All the electric accessories, and the engine, are right out there, where hi-press water can get forced into crevices, cause shorts, and conjure up all kinds of electrical and ignition gremlins. Use at most a stream from a garden hose, or better yet, a washbucket of mild soapy water and a clean rag, followed by a rinse bucket of clean water and a clean dry rag to dry it off, then apply wax as desired.
May be if you've got an all-plastic-encased bike like a Honda Pacific Coast taking it to the car wash is going to be no different than a car, since the plastic body parts will shield all the electrics. Even there, what's behind of or on top of the dashboard is still fully exposed to the hi-pressure water. Would you do this kind of wash to your convertible with the top down? Would you do it to a car with the hood removed? Thought not.
It was a joke, right?
