If chooseing a garden shed, you want one with a door wide enough to stand beside the bike as you push it in, and high enough to stand up, inside. Either a large square shed, or a rectangle shape with the door at one end,( if it's a long bike).

As said already, put a wooden floor down, and I would line the inside, so condensation wont drip over everything.

Personaly, I would knock up a wooden frame with treated ply exterior, and line the inside. Condensation on the inside of any metal single skin wall/roofing will be a problem with cold frosty mornings.

Most 'Tin' garden sheds are pretty flimsy,

If security is not a problem, but money is, I would put up a decent frame with a lined roof and drop down tarp sides.

Whether it's a GN125 or a $27,000 tourer, any bike deserves to be kept dry and out of the weather.

Ive the same issue. Ive been speaking to Cave Weta. Thinking of making a basic wooden frame and covering it with some canvas from Cavey. I board so cant make permanent structure.

With a bit of initiative, there's no reason you could'nt knock up a frame that bolts together, then gets taken apart when you need to do a runner.

No reason you can't put a slight angle towards the back of the shed on the top of the frame and have a standalone roof with corregated plastic roofing that you can bolt onto the frame too. Much better than canvas roof. Easier to assemble in my opinion too

If you're feeling extra awesome. you can attach an angled piece of guttering as well to disperse the water to where you want it.

The gaps between the corregated plastic and the frame also allows for a good amount of airflow too if you're putting covers/walls over all 4 sides
