The BMW R75 is a global War II-era motorcycle and sidecar blend made by the German company BMW.

Within the 1930s BMW were producing a amount of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in respond to a submission from the German Army.

Preproduction models of the R75 were powered by a 750 cc side valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 unit. This OHV engine motor later proved to be the foundation for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The third side-car wheel was driven with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were fixed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road products ratios by which all and reverse gears worked well. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most surfaces. Additional 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 generally employed by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though over time 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 making 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. In addition they arranged that the manufacture of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 products, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 each year.

Since the aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach stock was so terribly harmed by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. A further 98 systems were constructed by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
