BMW R75 – Standard Wallpaper

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

Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a amount of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a question from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were powered with a 750 cc side valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 product. 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 3rd side-car wheel was influenced with an axle linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were installed with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road equipment ratios by which all four and reverse gears functioned. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable 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 greatly utilized 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 upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (chosen the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they arranged that the make of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 devices, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach factory was so terribly harmed by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 units were built by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
