The BMW R75 is a global Conflict II-era motorcycle and sidecar combo produced by the German company BMW.
Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a number of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a demand from the German Army.
Preproduction models of the R75 were powered by way of a 750 cc area valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 product. This OHV engine unit later became the basis for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The third side-car wheel was motivated with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were fitted with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road equipment ratios by which all four and invert gears performed. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable 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 extensively 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 Military, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually making a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (specified the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also agreed that the make of the R75 would stop once production come to 20,200 items, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 each year.
Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturer was so terribly broken by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 items were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
