The BMW R75 is a World Warfare II-era motorcycle and sidecar blend made by the German company BMW.
Inside the 1930s BMW were producing a number of popular and highly effective motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a question from the German Military.
Preproduction models of the R75 were driven by the 750 cc side valve engine, which was predicated on the R71 engine unit. However it was quickly found essential to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 product. This OHV engine unit later became the basis for subsequent post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.
The third side-car wheel was motivated with an axle connected to the trunk wheel of the motorcycle. We were holding installed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road gear ratios by which all four and change gears worked. 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 own competitor the Z?ndapp KS 750 were both extensively employed by the Wehrmacht in Russia and North Africa, though after a period 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 setting up 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 decided that the produce of the R75 would stop once production reached 20,200 systems, and from then on point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, developing 20,000 every year.
Since the aim for of 20,200 BMW R75's had not been reached, it remained in production before Eisenach factory was so terribly ruined by Allied bombing that creation ceased in 1944. An additional 98 models were set up by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
