Probably like starting a tire thread 
but, hey ho.. not much else to do eh? 
So, tents for motocamping
loads of options and a wide price range. This is my take on the topic.
Initially, I thought, I know, it has to be ultra light, then thought why? a pillion isn't ultra light. And it has to be small, why? a pillion isn't small and more room = more comfort..
I have a few tents, more than I need but I had to find the right one. I don't use a dome tent, mostly because they don't have a lobby (porch) important here in the UK because even in summer it can rain and sharing the sleeping area with a pile of wet boots, helmet, jacket, trousers and gloves is not my idea of fun. If I want something wet in my sleeping quarters, I'd like it to be my sleeping companion..
I like tunnel tents, easy to erect, decent ventilation, plenty of choice with a lobby (porch) and a 2 man tent is plenty big enough for a biker with gear. Downside, they are long, not such an issue on a campsite but when wild camping you need to find an area that will take a 4m long tent plus guy ropes.
Here are photos of my tents .
This is a great tent, but the poles are starting to crack and bucket groundsheet in the porch isn't connected to the sleeping area. Nice tent but seen better days, it has been around a while.
