The KMZ K-750 is a Soviet-era motorcycle produced by the Kyiv Motorcycle Plant (Київський мотоциклетний завод, KMZ) in Ukraine from 1958 to 1976. Known for its rugged construction, the K-750 was widely used for military and civilian applications and is now a popular model among vintage motorcycle enthusiasts.

Development and Design

The K-750 was developed as an evolution of the M-72 motorcycle, which itself was based on the German BMW R71. It featured a 750 cc side-valve flat-twin engine producing 26 horsepower. The motorcycle was equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and shaft drive, providing reliability and ease of maintenance in rugged conditions.

Key improvements over its predecessor included:

A leading-link front fork
Swing-arm rear suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers
Full-width aluminum hubs for improved durability

The K-750 could achieve a top speed of 90 km/h (56 mph) and had a fuel consumption of approximately 3.5 liters per 100 kilometers.

Variants

Several versions of the K-750 were produced to meet diverse needs:

K-750M (1964): An upgraded version with improved engine components and design updates.
MB-750: A military model with a driven sidecar wheel for off-road capability.
K-750CM: A sports version adapted for off-road racing.

Production and Usage

Manufactured in Kyiv, Ukraine, the K-750 was initially designed for military use but quickly became popular with civilians. Its versatility made it a common choice for utility and transportation purposes, especially in rural areas. Collaboration between KMZ and other Soviet manufacturers, such as IMZ-Ural, ensured part interchangeability between models.

Legacy

Although production ended in 1970, the K-750 remains an iconic symbol of Soviet engineering. It continues to attract collectors and restorers due to its historical significance and robust design. Restored models are often showcased in vintage motorcycle events or used for recreational purposes.
