I wave if it's safe for me and for the other rider. In traffic, the likelihood is that either I or the other rider will be negotiating something that requires complete attention. Out on the open road, especially two-lane, same rule, but it's more likely that it's safe to wave. With a medianed highway, it really varies. I think I'm more likely to wave if it's a lone rider, regardless of the make of bike (at a distance frankly I often can't tell the difference between the HD riders and the metric cruisers. Groups on the highway seem the least likely to return a wave, but you never know.
At a stoplight, I give the bike ahead same distance as a car, partly to communicate to the cager behind me that I am expecting them to do the same with me, and partly because the rider ahead may be surprised if I come up close or next to them.
