The BMW R75 is a World War II-era motorcycle and sidecar combo made by the German company BMW.
Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a number of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in response to a demand from the German Military.
Preproduction types of the R75 were power with a 750 cc aspect valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 unit. This OHV engine unit later proved to be the basis for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The 3rd side-car wheel was driven 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 items ratios through which all and change gears performed. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity 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 competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both extensively utilized 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 upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually creating a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (designated 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 make of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 devices, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.
Since the aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach manufacturing plant was so badly harmed by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 units were built by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
