The BMW R75 is a global Warfare II-era motorcycle and sidecar blend produced by the German company BMW.
Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a amount of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a get from the German Military.
Preproduction models of the R75 were run by a 750 cc side valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 unit. This OHV engine later became the basis for following 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 trunk wheel of the motorcycle. They were fixed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road equipment ratios by which all and change gears proved helpful. 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 rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both widely used by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period 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 setting up 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 agreed that the manufacture of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 devices, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 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 terribly harmed by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. A further 98 systems were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
