The BMW R75 is a global Conflict II-era motorcycle and sidecar combo 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 demand from the German Military.
Preproduction types of the R75 were run by the 750 cc aspect valve engine, that was based on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 device. This OHV engine unit later became the basis for following post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The third side-car wheel was powered with an axle linked to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding fitted with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road gear ratios through which all four and reverse gears worked well. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most areas. 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 broadly utilized by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period 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 Army, 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 agreed that the manufacture of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 systems, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.
Since the goal of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach stock was so badly destroyed by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 units were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
