The BMW R75 is a World Battle II-era motorcycle and sidecar combination produced by the German company BMW.
Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a number of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a get from the German Army.
Preproduction types of the R75 were run by a 750 cc part valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 product. This OHV engine later proved to be the foundation for following post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The third side-car wheel was powered with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding equipped with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios through which all four and reverse gears proved helpful. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most areas. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.
The BMW R75 and its competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both greatly utilized by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though over time of evaluation it became clear that the Z?ndapp was the superior machine. In August 1942 Z?ndapp and BMW, on the urging of the Military, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (chosen the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they arranged that the manufacture of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 devices, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.
Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturer was so badly damaged by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 units were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
