We have a Vango Omega 250, very spacious for the two of us with an porch for all the bike gear. Goes on the back easy (there's a rack on the bike) with roll mats bungeed on top and one sleeping bag in each pannier (they zip together )

I have the Delta 300+ - the vango tents with a + in the name have a porch and a back door - means more storage.

Mind you I usually use my Vango 200 - which is light, packs tiny and is big enough that me and Vixis didnt have any problems with it, despite it being a little snug

Personally I would always go with Vango - and these guys (where I got my last tent from) are doing good deals - but avoid the pop-up tents - they dont pack down very well

If you want smaller tents (easier to put on the bike, but phsycally smaller)

And if you have money to burn

I've got a Blacks Cygnus, sleeps two comfortably with gear inside also and sits at least four comfortably whilst drinking Cider until the wee hours, ask Soulkiss and Quiff. Packs up nicley and fits on the back under a cargo net with the sleeping bag and rollmatt (although some extra bungees are required if you're carrying all three on the back)

Looks like this



If all goes well will have this for the AR09 though
