Motorcycle gun...
Ok. That depends what bike do you have. If you have a URAL, with sidecar, then go to Century Arms. They sell a copy of MG42. You know what to do next
. With some gray feldgrau paint you can look pretty evil. INDEED
I do not suggest shotguns due to personal dislike of them: to be accurate they need long barrel, and space is a concern.
My suggestions:
Vector Arms G3 Short Barreled Rifle. Telescopi stock for it.
SKS
RPD (For serious no noncense "I will shoot you rull of lead" look)
DP28 (For serious no noncense "I will shoot you rull of lead" look)
Yugo M70 Underfolder.
Kel-Tec Su16A (long barrel yet foldable)
PPSh (yes, militarygunsupply.com makes them). With a little different uniform and painting your bike khaki green you will also make some heads turn. Do not forget shapka with red star.
AR180B. Light, reliable.
Norinco Uzi copy.
Thats about it

I went with a stainless mini-14 with a folder.
I assume this is a SD and or varmint rifle as most people do not hunt large game on a motorcycle trip. I will also assume that you plan on stowing it externally, but my advice would not change much either way.
I needed a weapon that would stand up to punishing rain, road dirt, grime, mud, bugs everything and still function flawlessly. For me this ruled out anything with a wooden stock (hence the synthetic folder) and anything sensitive to fouling. I also needed it to be light, fast acting and easily brought into play. I also wanted to be able to easily get ammo anywhere while on the road and if needed parts or accessories as well.
I did not want anything expensive, hard to work on or difficult to find parts for. Lastly magazine fed semi-auto was preferred. The mini, despite some shortcomings fits this role perfectly for me. It never jams no matter how dirty, the .223 is found everywhere, it is a good defense round and it is also useful for small game. With the synthetic stock and stainless action and barrel it is quite rust resistant. You can carry quite a lot of .223 ammo on a bike in magazines without much of a weight and space penalty as well.
Accuracy suffers a bit over 250 meters and I am in the crowd who would not hunt deer with it but at $350 it is still fills a role. If you want a more powerful round go with the mini-30 or the AK with a folding synthetic stock at about the same price. Just remember the trade off in weight and space for the larger rounds.
Lever actions were likely great in 1880s on the trail but times, circumstances and technology have changed somewhat since then. While I certainly would not feel disarmed with Grandpa's Model 94 I think there are better more capable options out there. And if you can afford a better rifle by all means get a better one.

What about something like a NEF handy rifle or a TC encore that way it can be broken down into two small pieces when not being used.

How about an AK or short barreled FAL with a folding stock? You could probably stuff one in a saddle bag.

Mosin Nagant M91 with bayonet.
that way. you can joust with it too!
i put my vote in on the Keltec SU 16. "full size" round in subgun size.
if you guys think the motorcycle with subgun mount is cool. check out the BMW high Security models. hermeticaly sealed, armored bodys, bullet resistance glass, and in south africa... Flame throwers are available.

No I was serious. A 1919 on a sidecar would be awesome IMHO. Sorry if I chose not to use your "smiley emoticons". No lightening up needed buddy.

IIRC these were a Colt AR-15 and a Mossberg 590.
Saddlebags filled with various handguns and ammo.

Thank you for all the replies, now for a few Details.
I do not yet have a bike. I rode one reciently and I'm hooked. I have signed up for the safety class and am shopping for a bike.
I will likely end up with a Cruiser style Honda, Yamaha, or Kawasaki 1100CC bike.
I have NO intention of shooting a rifle from the bike, just to have along with me on trips.
I believe one of my folder AK's will work well... but I also need a different rifle for the 'unfree states.'
My budget is as expensive as necessary, and as cheap as possible.
I'll be carrying a 1911 and a S&W .357 handgun like I do every day.

The guy I got my unit from was a on the bike patrol. He had a Colt AR15 with carbine stock hooked on his BMW. It locked up withe pretty much the same setup as our cars.

Nomad... There are some new manufactured leather military scabards.
I have a like new, not for sale one. I think about the time era of Korea.
Used for jeep or bike and was for the M1 Garand with a re- enforced
metal plate that covered the exposed part of the operating rod that
sticks out on the Garand. Before I got my first Garand, I used it
to carry a Stevens 520 Trench shotgun. It has strapes that I used
to attach it to the handlebar and front fork of a 70 Shovel Harley (rides
parallel to the front fork. Rode around Sacramento, California for a
couple of years with the 12 ga, and recall not being stopped.
The above weapon carrier is an orginal, so probably will not be used on
my 89 Harley FXSP. It's good to live in an area where CCW doesn't require
an exposed here is what I got crap

Then a short lever action it is. Be forewarned, however, you might have to keep the magazine unloaded in some areas.
You can tac out a Marlin 336 with a ramline synthetic stock, ghost ring sights, and a scout rail, if you choose to. I don't consider it blasphemy, although many do.
I'd strongly suggest going this route, as a 336 is very compact. You might want to check out George Hill's modified 336 at http://www.madogre.com
The 336 is also very inexpensive, especially for a used one, and is very solidly built.

I too, think you should get a lever action shotgun.

Nomad, where are you going to be riding? The Sunni Triangle?
Oh, one more thing. The Marlins can be converted into takedown rifles. WildWestGuns of Alaska does this. Check out their Co-pilot rifle, too.
That would be the coolest, but an expensive solution. I think they charge about $500 or so to convert a rifle into takedown, and it must also be refinished.
