...for £72. From Millets.
Not the lightest, but doable on a motorcycle. Have a Slumit Cub II and love it, but no porch/vestibule is a pain for me....we'll see how this little fella goes...not the end of the world if I don't like it.
Just bought one of these...

Re: Just bought one of these...
That's a nice tent and as you say the porch is essential. I wouldn't be without one. I have a tent similar in size to hat and love it.
What's the pack weight?

Re: Just bought one of these...
looks good
I just checked the weight of 2 of my tents (being a true biker I have several)
Vango tempest200 = 3 kg ....(smaller 2-man)
eurohike avon dlx = 7.5 kg ....(larger 3-man) ....... FFS
.. [[the avon is supposed to be 5.5 kg !!!!!! .. WTF ?
.. [[he tempest is supposed to be 2.7kg (not far off.. > actually is 2.9kg)
https://www.millets.co.uk/tents-camping ... -tent.html
so ... check the weight of ya tent !!
the avon was ideal for the Malvern rally ... but just too big and heavy for touring, imo

I bought a Coleman Tatra for last year which is a nice tent with a porch which is what I wanted. However the porch/side entrance is a real pain to get in and out. So I'm looking at getting a Monviso which is the same but with a front entrance. Doesn't seem to be in their range any more but it's still available.
