The BMW R75 is a World Warfare II-era motorcycle and sidecar combination made by the German company BMW.
Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a quantity of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in reaction to a question from the German Military.
Preproduction models of the R75 were powered by way of a 750 cc part valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 product. This OHV engine later became the basis for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The 3rd side-car wheel was motivated with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding fixed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road products ratios through which all and invert gears functioned. 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 own rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both widely 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 Military, agreed upon standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually building a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (selected the BW 43), when a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they decided that the manufacture of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 items, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 every year.
Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production until the Eisenach manufacturer was so terribly destroyed by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 units were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
