Black Pearl - The Steam-Powered Motorcycle

Post by chandoo » Apr 18, 2015 Views: 1335



The 'Black Pearl' is a one-of-a-kind steam-powered motorcycle created by Dutch bike builder Rene van Tuil, of Revatu Customs. Looking like the love child of a chopper and an old steam engine, the unique vehicle can make any diehard steampunk fan simply drool just looking at it. Although named after Jack Sparrow's notoriously fast ship, van Tuil's amazing creation is anything but fast. Powered by a functioning steam engine, with a rear wheel driven by a large crankshaft, the unique motorcycle can reach an unimpressive top speed of just eight kilometers per hour. That might not be nearly enough for speed junkies, but those who enjoy a leisurely ride will definitely appreciate the chance to take in the scenery at a very slow pace.
