The BMW R75 and its sibling the Zündapp KS 750, were Germany`s equivalent to the American Jeep. Though it should be noted that the Kübelwagen could also be given that same title, and all three of these vehicles pre-dated the Willys Jeep.
Both the BMW R75 and the Zündapp KS 750 were developed in the late 1930s to meet a requirement put forward by the German Wehrmacht (military) for a sidecar equipped motorcycle.
These requirements called for 4.5 x 16-inch tires to be used as they would be interchangeable with the Kübelwagen, the motorcycles also needed to have a range of 350 kilometres (217 miles), they needed to be able to carry three soldiers and their gear with a gross load weight of 500 kilograms (1,102 pounds), ground clearance needed to be at least 150 millimetres (5.9 inches), they needed to be able to run on very low quality petrol, the maximum speed had to be close to 100 km/h (60 mph), and clearance between the fenders and tires needed to be large enough to allow snow chains to be fitted.
Interestingly the bikes also needed to be able to maintain a marching speed of 3.5 to 4 km/h (2+ mph) without overheating so they could accompany infantry who were underway on foot.
Both BMW and Zündapp met the requirements with their respective models, due to a number of factors not the least of which was its cheaper to produce stamped-steel frame, the Zündapp was chosen. BMW refused to accept defeat and managed to negotiate to build their own bike, the R75, but to pool resources with Zündapp and ensure that the two bikes would share approximately 70% of their components.
