The BMW R75 is a World War II-era motorcycle and sidecar mixture made by the German company BMW.
Within the 1930s BMW were producing a number of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a question from the German Army.
Preproduction models of the R75 were run by way of a 750 cc part valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 device. This OHV engine unit later proved to be the foundation for following post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The 3rd side-car wheel was powered with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were fixed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road gear ratios by which all four and invert gears performed. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most surfaces. Additional motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, provided an optional drive to sidecars.
The BMW R75 and its own competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both greatly 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 setting up a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (chosen the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. They also decided that the make of the R75 would cease 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 every year.
Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach manufacturer was so terribly destroyed by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 products were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
