BMW R71 Motorcycle: Retro Vintage Motorcycles, Army Motorcycles, Bmw

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

Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a number of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 started in respond to a submission from the German Army.

Preproduction models of the R75 were power by a 750 cc area valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine motor. Nonetheless it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 product. This OHV engine unit 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 connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding installed with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road gear 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 competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both extensively utilized by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period 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 setting up a Z?ndapp-BMW hybrid (designated 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 stop 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 each year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it continued to be in production before Eisenach manufacturer was so badly ruined by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 products were assembled by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
