I think so.. If you use kingspan or similar, in a shed that is all that's needed, you don't need any other finish.

Just leave the wood to breath to the outside

AIUI, you should fit a breathable waterproof membrane between the outside cladding and the frame, then there should be a gap between the membrane and the internal insulation, they shouldn't touch.
Then if you need/want to, depending on the type of insulation you used (ie you wouldn't want glass fibre being loose on the walls, but that ridgid stuff would be ok), you can either sheet over the insulation, or just leave it.

Looking around the net at various forums, this seems the best answer I have found.
This is the walls, I'm still not sure about the ceiling and floor.

...I'm not that sure about the walls either :rotfl:

This raises the question of how many hours will you be spending in the shed in the cold months. That is to say is it worth the cost of insulating if you are only in the shed for the odd hour or two.
The door and other gaps in sheds and the single glazed / plastic windows might make proper insulation more trouble than it's worth.
Have a look at the present cost of insulation products - a rip off.

It's more a question of my motorbike and lots of tools which will be stored and used in the shed (the bike won't be used in the shed ) and keeping them dry and rust free.

I suspect I will be in there alot in the winter.
