BMW R75/6 BY CLUTCH CUSTOM

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

Inside the 1930s BMW were creating a range of popular and impressive motorcycles. In 1938 development of the R75 were only available in respond to a request from the German Army.

Preproduction types of the R75 were run by the 750 cc aspect valve engine, that was predicated on the R71 engine motor. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine unit for the R75 device. This OHV engine motor later became the basis for succeeding post-war twin BMW engines like the R51/3, R67 and R68.

The 3rd side-car wheel was driven with an axle linked to the rear wheel of the motorcycle. These were fixed with a locking differential and selectable highway and off-road equipment ratios through which all and reverse gears did the trick. This made the R75 highly manoeuvrable and capable 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 extensively employed 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 Military, agreed upon 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 make of the R75 would cease once production reached 20,200 units, and after that point BMW and Z?ndapp would only produce the Z?ndapp-BMW machine, processing 20,000 each year.

Since the focus on of 20,200 BMW R75's was not reached, it continued to be in production until the Eisenach stock was so terribly damaged by Allied bombing that production ceased in 1944. An additional 98 models were put together by the Soviets in 1946 as reparations.
