The BMW R75 is a World War II-era motorcycle and sidecar blend produced by the German company BMW.
In the 1930s BMW were creating a volume of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in response to a demand from the German Army.
Preproduction types of the R75 were powered with a 750 cc side valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine motor. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 product. This OHV engine 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 powered with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding installed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road products ratios through which all and invert gears functioned. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most areas. 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 employed 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 upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually setting up a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (specified the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also arranged that the produce of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 products, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.
Since the aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach stock was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 products were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
