1. Comedy tents tend to be single skin for mud lovers
2. Quechua 2-second and similar are OKish but don't pack to a size that's suitable for a bike. Very useful if your brakes failed as you could deploy the air brake.
3. Think of where you would put your wet gear as well.
Kevin Sanders did a good write up a few months ago on camping equipment for Motorcycle Sport and Leisure magazine and he recommended bikers to concentrate on the sort of gear that trekkers would use. Trekkers have the same requirements--the need for lightweight and small pack size, plus the need to store wet gear, etc.
Amongst the best tents are Vaude ( VAUDE-The Spirit of Mountain Sports - Official UK Vaude website) but they are expensive. I currently use the Gelert Mongoose ( Mongoose 2 - Gelert) but it doesn't have the large porch area that you need for wet gear storage.
