The BMW R75 is a global Conflict II-era motorcycle and sidecar combo produced by the German company BMW.

Within the 1930s BMW were producing a quantity of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a need from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were run by way of a 750 cc part valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 device. This OHV engine unit later became 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 linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding equipped with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road items ratios by which all and change gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most areas. A few other motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.

The BMW R75 and its rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both extensively used 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 Military, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually developing a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (designated the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they arranged that the produce of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 models, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 each year.

Since the concentrate on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach manufacturing plant was so terribly broken by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 items were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
