The BMW R75 is a global War II-era motorcycle and sidecar combo produced by the German company BMW.

In the 1930s BMW were creating a variety of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a demand from the German Military.

Preproduction models of the R75 were powered by a 750 cc aspect valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 unit. This OHV engine later proved to be the foundation for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was powered with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were installed with a locking differential and selectable street and off-road equipment ratios through which all four and invert gears proved helpful. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and with the capacity of negotiating most surfaces. Additional 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 greatly employed 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 Military, agreed after standardization of parts for both machines, with a view of eventually making a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (specified the BW 43), in which a BMW 286/1 side-car would be grafted onto a Z?ndapp KS 750 motorcycle. In addition they arranged that the produce of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 products, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.

Since the target of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach manufacturing plant was so badly broken by Allied bombing that development ceased in 1944. A further 98 products were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
