Am i nuts? Ditch van, full time motorcycle. Which tent?

Hey folks,

Ive been traveling for a year now and ive got a serious urge to sell my van and fulltime travel on my enduro.

My reasoning is i want to get a bit further out there into places my van cant go. Specifically ill be camping in Arizona during the winter and Washington/Oregon during the summer. I wont be moving too often so the tent will be set up for at least 2 weeks in each place and much longer in Arizona. But ill be stuck in cold rainy weather for a month during the beginning of fishing season.

Both areas have really high winds up to 70 is normal. Am i nuts to think i can tent camp these areas?

Im looking at canvas tents now and im really liking the Springbar Outfitter for the size/weight but its still heavy for a bike at 40lbs.

Can anyone reccomend a tent? Im looking for lightweight, stand up height, stove jack capable, doesnt flap in wind a lot, and can handle rain/high winds. Small footprint

Also, am i nuts to consider this? Haha
