L3510 GERMAN IIWW MOTORCYCLE BMW R75 WITH SIDECAR

The BMW R 75 is a German motorcycle from the Second World War. The drive was provided by a single 2-cylinder boxer engine with a capacity of 26 HP, allowing the vehicle to accelerate to 80-90 km / h. The first copies of this motorcycle were presented in 1939, and serial production continued in 1941-1946. Approximately 16,900 examples of this vehicle were built in its course. The BMW R 75 was designed from the outset as the new entry-level multipurpose motorcycle for the German armed forces. Its design was based on other BMW motors: 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 off-road capability was increased, also in desert and winter conditions . In the course of production, the design of the BMW R75 was constantly improved - first of all, the gearbox and the front suspension were improved. It is worth adding that many components of the BMW R75 were unified with the Zundapp KS 750 motorcycle during serial production. The BMW R 75 motorcycle served on virtually all fronts of World War II, also in North Africa and on the Eastern Front. It is recognized as one of the most famous and successful German military motorcycles of 1939-1945.
