The BMW R75 is a World Battle II-era motorcycle and sidecar mixture made by the German company BMW.
Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a variety of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in reaction to a get from the German Army.
Preproduction models of the R75 were power by way of a 750 cc part valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine motor. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 device. This OHV engine motor later proved to be the basis for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The 3rd side-car wheel was motivated with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were fitted with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios by which all four and change gears proved helpful. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most surfaces. A few other 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 broadly 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 Military, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually developing a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (selected the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also arranged that the production of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 units, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 every year.
Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach factory was so terribly ruined by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 items were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
