I now. think that is the brand of tent I had a few years ago. I threw it away after 3 uses. It deploys quite well but trying to collapse it got to a major issue. The framework got screwed up and I couldn't even get it back in the bag. I do not recommend it. I now have an Alps Mountaineering Felis tent. The best feature is that it packs into a sack that is 1'1" X 6.5" which fits easily into a medium sized saddlebag.

They are now $200, I don't think I paid that much. I looked at the website, they are currently out of stock. I would provide a link but with this #$%^& Chome book I have been unable to figure out how to do it. I need to get a regular Microsoft laptop.

If fast setup is your goal, that or a Coleman instant setup might be nice. I noticed they didn't show how long it takes to take the tent down though, and that setup mechanism looks a lot like that of an umbrella, which I've broken quite a few of.
Some other reviews on it to consider:
https://www.reddit.com/r/camping/comments/1dir254/has_anyone_here_tried_this_three_sec_tent_thoughts/

Personally, for motocamping I tend to stick to "regular" backpacking tents one might find at an outdoor retailer. Poles strung together with stretch cord. When they break it's usually just a snapped cord which you can replace, or a broken pole which you can replace or go to REI and buy a pole splint for, or a zipper that is serviceable. Some of the elderly and/or disabled folks I've traveled with are big fans of the Coleman instant-up tents as they provide standing room and can fit cots to sleep on. While I can, I try to pack lighter and smaller than that. They've got full size touring bikes with sidecars and trailers, so space and weight are less of an issue.

I have a similar one made by KHYAM of England.  Can't sell in the USA because they don't test for or meet US flameproof standards.  I happened to have a good Guzzi friend planning a visit from England and he had some extra luggage space available.  I have the 3-man Igloo.  Used to refer to their tents as "20 second tents".

Looks good!  The packed down size is a bit bigger & heavier than my inexpensive Eureka Tetragon 3 person which has a 7' x 7' foot print, packed down is 5" x 22"  at 6.5lbs.   I didn't spot what the overall dimensions are of the Reactive...I need plenty of room  :laugh:
