The BMW R75 is a global Warfare II-era motorcycle and sidecar mixture made by the German company BMW.
In the 1930s BMW were creating a volume of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a request from the German Military.
Preproduction types of the R75 were power by the 750 cc area valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine motor. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 unit. This OHV engine later became the basis for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The 3rd side-car wheel was motivated with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were built in with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road products ratios by which all four and invert gears worked. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most surfaces. 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 employed 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 Military, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building 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 arranged that the make of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 devices, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 each year.
Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturing plant was so terribly harmed by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 units were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
