The BMW R 75 is a German motorcycle from the Second World War. The drive was provided by one 2-cylinder opposed engine with a capacity of 26 horsepower, which allowed the car to accelerate to 80-90 km/h. The first copies of this motorcycle were presented in 1939, and serial production continued in 1941-1946. During this time, approximately 16,900 copies of this car were produced. The BMW R 75 was designed from the outset as a new entry-level multi-purpose motorcycle for the German armed forces. Its design was based on other BMW engines: the R 12 and R 71 models. First of all, in relation to the R 12, a more powerful engine was used, and the entire structure was significantly strengthened and the cross-country ability was increased, also in desert and winter conditions. During the production process, the design of the BMW R75 was constantly improved - first of all, the gearbox and front suspension were improved. It is worth adding that during serial production, many BMW R75 units were unified with the Zundapp KS 750 motorcycle. The BMW R 75 motorcycle served on almost all fronts of World War II, including North Africa and the Eastern Front. It is recognized as one of the most famous and successful German military motorcycles of 1939-1945.
