Wikipedia: The BMW R75 is a World War II-era motorcycle and sidecar combination produced by the German company BMW. The BMW R75 stands out by its integral two-wheel drive design, with drive shafts to both its rear wheel and the third side-car wheel, from a locking differential, as well as a transfer case offering both road and off-road gear ratios, through which all forward and reverse gears worked. This made the R75 highly maneuverable and capable of negotiating most surfaces. A few other motorcycle manufactures, like FN and Norton, offered optional drive to sidecars.
Shame those old Lego bikes don't come in dark gray, but black also works rather nice I recently found out. I am planning to work out the sidecar a little more in the future as the back can be a bit more accurate to the real thing, but in the overall I like it.

Σ(ノ°▽°)ノHey guys long time no see! I’m here to show you one of my latest custom models/commissions for @milo_bricks ! The BMW R75 with a side car able to hold (half a Minifigure) inside! I tried to even be clever about the Minifigures brickmania sticker since when they scratch off they turn white so it’s perfect for snow covered clothing! Along with a custom painted MG for the sidecar!

This motor bike took well over a week too do and I’m fairly proud of it! I do have plans to make instructions for this model freely available in the near future as well, but the formatting I’ll use to disperse it is still unclear.

Photo taken at the Elfsteden Oldtimer Rally (Eleven City Trip Oldtimer Rally) in Sloten (Frysland - The Netherlands).
- BMW R75 + side car + trailer - 2 cylinder 750cc - 30 bhp - 470kg
- 2x Zündapp KS750 + side car - 2 cylinder 751cc - 26 bhp - 490 kg
Both were designed for the strict specifications of the Werhmacht.
They were multi purpose cross country machines to escort infantry and tanks and as scouts.
They could carry 3 fully equipped soldiers and were armed with a M34 or M43 machine gun.
They were both flat twin engines of the same size.
10 Gears via high and low ratios and reverse and shaft drive and two wheel drive.
Although the BMW is more well known, the Zündapp was the better of the two.
You can see that the Zündapp's wheels were all interchangeable, the BMW had to carry two spares of different sizes.
In the freezing conditions of the Eastern front the Zündapp worked better because it had a pre-heater for the fuel/air and heated foot, hands and side car with pipes from the exhaust.
The R75 had a tube frame, The KS had a pressed steel one. They were both impressive machines and known as 'The green elephant' or 'War elephant'.
The KS can be called a V-twin because the cylinders are at small angle to each other.
When the Soviet Union took over East Germany they carried on for a while with the KS, but copied and produced large numbers of R75s and still do.
They've been sold under names of Ural, Cossack, Dnieper and some still look the WW2 bikes..! (*

Thanks, my friend ☺☺☺!

This was build to commemorate the 16th Anniversary of my LUG, Comunidade 0937, where we had to reproduce in microscale a LEGO set or a MOC of someone of our LUG made in the last 16 years. So I choose to shrink this: flic.kr/p/2iNTNuC
A Second World War display of a German Airfield made by Miguel Reizinho. My version looks a bit different from what the author has on his Flickr... but the display have since been updated with more vehicles added... and it was on that more recent version that I based my MOC.
I reduced the area from 16 baseplates to just one and the airstrip established the scale that all the vehicles would have to have.
All the vehicles are relatively faithful to the source material, (well... as much as this scale allows) except for the Bf 109 propellers that should have 3 blades and not just 2.
Well this MOC is from 2019, but only now I got to get some decent pictures of it with the help of the photography wizard Ricky.
This is the representation of the coolest motorcycle jump that has ever been portrayed in cinema, when Steve McQueen (well... the jump was made by his stunt, Bud Ekins) jumps over a barbed wire fence while being chased by German troops.
BMW R75 Combination with W.Krad B2 Sidecar (1941-46) Engine 745cc Flat Twin OHV
Registration Number WH 1754771

The R75 was built in response for the need of a heavy cross country machine. BMW had already done exploratory work from 1934 on a bike with a powered sidecar. The system was ready to go also the telefork already with its soft springing would be an advantage over a leaf springing over rough terrain. The chassis would be made of pipe to allow for easy dismantling and rebuilding.
The R75 has an integral two-wheel drive design, with drive shafts to both its rear wheel and the third side-car wheel, from a locking differential, as well as a transfer case offering both road and off-road gear ratios, through which all four forward and two reverse gears worked. Making the bike highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most surfaces.
The sidecar wheel is driven in tandem with the machines rear wheel by a lockable differential unit delivering 70 per cent to the rear wheel and 30 per cent to the sidecar wheel. Strong tubes welded to a retangular build sidecar chassis. The sidecar wheel is fixed at a control arm where the drive is situated. The springing results through a torsion spring which is situated together with the drive shaft at the back of the sidecar chassis transverse tube. The sidecar boat is fixed at the back with two leaf springs positioned on the rubber in front.
As with the allied Jeep, produced by a number of manufacturers the R75 had a standardization of parts with Zundapp
Preproduction models of the R75 were powered by a 750 cc side valve engine, which was based on the R71 engine. However it was quickly found necessary to design an all-new OHV 750 cc engine for the R75 unit. This OHV engine later proved to be the basis for subsequent post-war BMW flat-twin
he success and reliability of the shaft-driven R75 during the war led to the US Army requesting that Harley-Davidson produce a similar shaft-driven motorcycle for American troops. This led to Harley producing their first ever shaft-driven model, the Harley-Davidson XA, which was a near duplicate of the R75 without sidecar

Here is a small scene with the COBI 7TP Tank (Polish) and the German Panzer 1. The 7TP tank is set 2456, and the Panzer I is 2474. Both are great design and builds. The 7TP is an especially interesting build, because it uses some clever techniques to achieve the look of the tank whilst maintaining its small size.

Gaah...I don't understand why my pictures are all crap lately D:
Any who...Added some stuff to my R75, a shovel, an MG34 (Yes, I know it's an MG42 :P) and attched a third figure via rubberbands
MG42, Ammo chain and MP40 by brickarms. Ask to trade and you will be blocked. Even if you're kidding.

Here is a compilation of the new COBI Small Army WWII and Small Army sets for late-2015 to early-2016. This newest range includes some very exciting additions to the WWII range, and some interesting new moulding elements (including new road wheels and idler wheels). Just like other COBI WWII products, I can't wait to add these to my collection!
I am especially excited for the new Hanomag and the larger M-26 and Merkava. I'm also very interested in the Jagpanther (although I would've preferred it came in similar colours to the recent Panther or King Tiger). And I'll pick up both new T-34s just to get those new road wheels and idler wheels!

I decided my Allies had enough, and made some nazi vehicles. Not my best work, but I couldn't quite work out the detailing on this.

This motorcycle is part of a slightly bigger MOC I’m working on. The construction was based on a 1961 Triumph TR6 Trophy modified to look like a German WWII Era BMW R75. The objective was to keep the maximum detail of the original vehicle and still make it ridable by a figure on the TC scale. I was able to keep the general aspect of both suspensions, the fuel tank, the headlight, and the slight inclination of the fork. And yes, the license plate is glued to the slope, no worries LEGO purists, I used wood glue that can be removed from the ABS really easily.
(p.s.: TC stands for Tyler Clites, and since no one has came up with a better name for this scale, I shall be referring to this scale as “TC Scale” for now on.)

I'm busy with a vignette and I want to know what do you guys find of this minifigs.
It will be a vignette about the liberation of paris.
