Yes, I was as surprised as you are.

Giant Loop Introduces First Seat Top Tent for Adventure Motorcycles
Giant Loop, an American company specialized in hardcore adventure gear (saddlebags and stuff) just unveiled the world’s first seat-top tent for motorcycles, the Expander Adventure STT Tent.
“Weighing in at just under 20 lbs (just under 9 kg)., the EXPANDER™ mounts to virtually any adventure touring motorcycle, providing 100 square feet of hazard-free living space while deployed safely off the ground”, according to its creator.
“Upgrades include one-click remote-controlled deployment and packing, anti-microbial UV interior lighting and a Dyneema®/Kevlar® predator barrier (patent pending)”, and this is the moment I realized there’s some serious stuff over there.
The tent is made in the USA with tubular and extruded titanium framework, ladder, and supports, with ultralight Vapor ™ fabrics. The tent packs into its own case 6” tall x 18” wide x 18” long, or about the size of a box of Voodoo Donuts.
The preorders are available now, and the estimated first production date is April 1, 2021. There’s a special $299 launch price right now, so you should consider adding it to the shopping cart today. Good job, Giant Loop. Good Job!
It can accommodate two adults and riding gear
