The BMW R75 is a World Warfare II-era motorcycle and sidecar blend produced by the German company BMW.

Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a range of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a get from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were run by way of a 750 cc aspect valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 product. This OHV engine later became the basis for succeeding 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 trunk wheel of the motorcycle. They were fixed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road gear ratios by which all four and invert 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 rival the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both broadly utilized by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though over time 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 building a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (selected the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they agreed that the production of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 models, 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 until the Eisenach factory was so terribly ruined by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. A further 98 units were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
