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

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

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

The third side-car wheel was motivated 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 gear ratios by which all and reverse gears performed. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most areas. Additional 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 greatly used 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 creating 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. They also decided that the make of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 devices, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.

Since the goal of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach stock was so terribly ruined by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 products were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
