Wheels!!!
I quit worryng about my bikes being clean a long time ago and have been known to not wash a bike for a year or more. I always make areas spotless when I need to work on them, such as the swingarm, sprocket, carrier, adjusters, rotor, and rim when changing a rear tire, but I don't make it a habit to wash the whole bike, try to keep the engine spotless, or things like this.
I just got done wiping off the wheels on my DB2 and HATE those white wheels! I think I'd hate changing them to a non-original color more, though.

Covert it to shaft drive, then you won't have to worry about cleaning chain lube off.

That wouldn't do a thing for the front wheels being covered in brake dust.....or simply riding in the rain where darker colors don't show the dirt and road grime as easily. I don't care if my Bimota gets caught in the rain.
