The BMW R75 is a global Battle II-era motorcycle and sidecar combination produced by the German company BMW.
Within the 1930s BMW were creating 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 run by a 750 cc aspect valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine unit. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 device. This OHV engine motor later became the foundation for following post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The 3rd side-car wheel was influenced with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were built in with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road products ratios by which all four and reverse gears performed. 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 own rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both broadly utilized by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period of evaluation 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 building a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (specified the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they agreed that the production of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 products, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 every year.
Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach manufacturing plant was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 items were built by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
