The BMW R75 is a World Warfare II-era motorcycle and sidecar combo made by the German company BMW.
In the 1930s BMW were producing a variety of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in reaction to a request from the German Army.
Preproduction models of the R75 were powered by the 750 cc aspect valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 product. This OHV engine later proved to be the basis for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The third side-car wheel was influenced with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were equipped with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road items ratios by which all and change gears worked. 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 rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both broadly used 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 creating a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (specified 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 reached 20,200 models, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 every year.
Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach manufacturer was so terribly ruined by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. A further 98 models were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
