I would be inclined to agree with greynomads on the 2-3 man tent theme.I know it's more weight to carry,but on the other hand when it's raining and there's two of you,a tent that you can comfortably get into,turn around,sit in,even cook in(not to mention where you put the personal gear/valuables) is a godsend.If you're riding an R80ST with paniers,carrying a 3 man dome tent should be no problem.I've been using a Gelert 3 man dome(cheap i know but still waterproof) for the last 6 years,and carried it on an MZ 250,BMW R65,and now an XL600.Even for solo trips i would'nt get a smaller one.
But whatever you take,enjoy!
