or you could just a regular tent and let your bike get wet. Just seems like too much trouble and potential for damage if you are going to be using it alot.

Yep.....if you're on a multi-day trip you're GOING to get wet anyway. Not sure what makes stationary rain so much worse than riding down the road in it?!?!

About the only benefit I could see with this, wouldn't last very long... traveling in the cold, you set up tent and put your hot bike inside with you and it heats the tent... temporarily.

Exactly, I was camping this weekend. And a guy on a bwm gs and another guy with a street fighter came to the site. They had a small two man tent they shared and were gone before I was awake the next morning.

I would think if I were travelling, I'd be about light and small/compact vs overall camping comfort.
