The BMW R75 is a global War II-era motorcycle and sidecar combination produced by the German company BMW.
In the 1930s BMW were creating a amount of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in reaction to a request from the German Military.
Preproduction models of the R75 were powered by a 750 cc aspect valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine motor for the R75 product. This OHV engine unit later became the basis for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The third side-car wheel was powered with an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. They were fixed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road products ratios by which all and reverse gears worked. 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 competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both greatly 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. They also decided that the production of the R75 would cease once production come to 20,200 units, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, making 20,000 every year.
Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach factory was so badly ruined by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 products were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
