1942 BMW R75 750cc Military Motorcycle Combination WEHRMACHTSGESPANN
Indicated mileage: 2752 KM
The BMW R-75 motorcycle was used by the German military in WW II in both the Eastern Front and the North African Campaign. Approximately 16, 500 were built between 1940 and 46. As a cross-country motorcycle for the Wehrmacht, the bike and sidecar had a load capacity of approximately 500 kg. This was fully restored to original specs using the Afrika Korps desert-sand color. The engine is a 745cc flat twin (OHC) with 26 HP. It has a 4-speed gearbox plus reverse & low ratio.
This Bike resides in a collection of about 50 vehicles in Valencia. It is regularly used & cruises along at about 50 MPH with no trouble. It has its original desert air filter in situ under a cover on the fuel tank. A period Wermacht swastika adorned german helmet comes with the motorcycle. The ammunition boxes are of leather as opposed to the steel ones used on the Easern Front.
The motorcyle as a whole is in impecabble condition. It is european taxes paid & was left in North Africa by some German tourists who needed to depart in a bit of a hurry. The bike was then brought to Spain. The current owners have had it for 20 or so years. Collection is in Valencia by appointment as are viewings if required. It is however of such a standard that it may be purchsed in confidence sight unseen from the pictures.
