The BMW R75 is a global Conflict II-era motorcycle and sidecar combination produced by the German company BMW.
Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a range of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in respond to a request from the German Army.
Preproduction models of the R75 were driven by way of a 750 cc part valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine motor. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 product. This OHV engine unit later proved to be the foundation for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The 3rd side-car wheel was influenced with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding installed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road items ratios by which all four and invert gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most floors. A few other 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 widely 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 developing 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. They also decided that the production of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 models, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 every year.
Since the goal of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach factory was so terribly broken by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 products were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
