The BMW R75 is a global Battle II-era motorcycle and sidecar blend produced by the German company BMW.
Within the 1930s BMW were creating a range of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a submission from the German Military.
Preproduction types of the R75 were powered by the 750 cc part valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 device. 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 influenced with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding installed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road gear ratios through which all four and reverse gears functioned. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most floors. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.
The BMW R75 and its own competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both generally utilized by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period of analysis it became clear that the Z?ndapp was the superior machine. In August 1942 Z?ndapp and BMW, on the urging of the Army, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (chosen the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also agreed that the make of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 devices, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 every year.
Since the aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so terribly destroyed by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 devices were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
