The BMW R75 is a global Battle II-era motorcycle and sidecar blend produced by the German company BMW.
Within the 1930s BMW were creating a number of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a request from the German Army.
Preproduction types of the R75 were power by a 750 cc area valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine motor. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 unit. This OHV engine motor later became the foundation for following post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The third side-car wheel was influenced with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding fitted with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road items ratios by which all and invert gears worked. 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 generally used 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 making 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 decided that the production of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 products, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 each year.
Since the concentrate on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach factory was so terribly broken by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. A further 98 items were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
