BMW R75 Sidecar Combination

The BMW R75 is a global Battle II-era motorcycle and sidecar combo made 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 started in reaction to a get from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were run by the 750 cc part valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 product. This OHV engine motor later proved to be the basis for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was powered with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding built in with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road gear ratios by which all four and invert gears worked well. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most floors. A few other 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 greatly employed by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though over time 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 Military, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (designated the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they decided that the produce of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 models, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 each year.

Since the goal of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach manufacturer was so badly destroyed by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 units were built by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
