Stability vs room
Part of the tent discussion, for me, is also about how much it will be used. Are you a weekend warrior or going for months. In my case I'll virtually be living in the tent, thus having enough room to be comfortable and being able to work is important.
The weak part of a tent, most prone to failure seems to me to be zippers. I REALLY like the idea of parking my bike in the tent and having a place to work on it and keep it out of sight.
I am also concerned about this height and the wind. Maybe extra strong tie downs? I've been in major storms in a tent and don't want to be out there in underwear chasing flying gear...
So the lonerider an the Redverz are at the top of my list, but I can't see one before purchase to check out the zippers. Their weight is also an issue. Cost, maybe save a lot in hotel fees if the tent really works out.
No matter what - there will be a compromise. Weight, vs space vs height vs cost. I wish an actual user of these motorcycle tents would post about their real world experiences.
