The BMW R75 is a World War II-era motorcycle and sidecar combo produced by the German company BMW.

Within the 1930s BMW were producing a variety of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a demand from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were run by way of a 750 cc part valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 device. This OHV engine later proved to be the basis for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was influenced with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were equipped with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road gear ratios through which all four and change gears performed. 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 own rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both greatly used by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though over time of evaluation 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 creating 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. In addition they agreed that the produce of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 models, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 each year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach stock was so terribly broken by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 devices were constructed by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
