The stunning futuristic BMW M motorcycle concept by Jans Slapins

The BMW R75 is a global Battle II-era motorcycle and sidecar blend made by the German company BMW.

In the 1930s BMW were producing a quantity of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in reaction to a need from the German Military.

Preproduction types of the R75 were powered by the 750 cc side valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 device. This OHV engine later proved to be the foundation for subsequent 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 trunk wheel of the motorcycle. These were fitted with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road products ratios by which all four and invert gears worked well. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most floors. 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 widely 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 (designated 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 produce of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 units, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, manufacturing 20,000 every year.

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