The BMW R75 is a World War II-era motorcycle and sidecar blend made 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 started in response to a get from the German Army.
Preproduction types of the R75 were power by a 750 cc part valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 product. This OHV engine motor later became the foundation for following 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. We were holding fitted with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road products ratios through which all four and invert gears did the trick. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most surfaces. A few other 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 extensively 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 Army, 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. In addition they agreed that the manufacture of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 models, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 each year.
Since the aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach stock was so terribly broken by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. An additional 98 items were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
