A high street is the perfect place for a paralever!
Let's look at the points of failure:
I just do not see real long distance touring on/off road as a good environment for the paralever. The driveling itself fails, the mount onto the trans is delicate, the bikes must be split in half to replace a clutch, and if it falls over, the trans case cracks....

Nice bike you have there...but single discs are so last year
Dual front discs on an off road bike..... Spitting sand is not fun.

Here's another pic for you which includes yet another para and a mono disguised as a para for some reason.

Cookie, that's a really nice Bike and was good value
What sized "cup" are you these days?
No. That would be Yank, Septic Tank etc etc. Merkin is just a lazy spelling.
Have you contacted BMW and informed them of the fact people could die in lonely hot deserts and their m/cs could all do a million miles if only they hadn't listened to their engineers and ditched monolevers for paralevers cgoodwin? I think BMW should be told
The Paralever has a life expectancy off road of less than 40K, why would anyone make an off road tourer with a driveline that fails in Dara Salam? The monolever has historically lasted for hundreds of thousands of miles and can be services in the field with a single wrench. The Paralever housing where ti meets the trans is so weak that dropping the bike on that side will break the trans... This is an off road trourer! Leave the paralever on the road bikes, they look neat, but have no place on a real off road touring bike.
How would you like to have your Paralever fail here in 130F heat on a road that gets travelled twice a year?
Anyone remember pseuds corner in Private Eye? Maybe we should start a new section on the forum?
you've lost me there.
Morning
Have a look at the washing line!
As a matter of interest, how does yours compare with "the other"
