The BMW R75 is a global Conflict II-era motorcycle and sidecar mixture made by the German company BMW.
In the 1930s BMW were producing a range of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in respond to a need from the German Army.
Preproduction models of the R75 were powered by the 750 cc aspect valve engine, that was predicated 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 became the basis for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The 3rd side-car wheel was driven with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding built in with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios by which all four and change gears did the trick. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most floors. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.
The BMW R75 and its competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both generally 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 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. In addition they arranged that the manufacture of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 units, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.
Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so terribly ruined by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 systems were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
