It is one thing to make something like Steampunk in style, but to actually drive that device using steam power takes an entirely higher-order level of commitment and engineering.

Revatu Customs is the Dutch motorocycle shop behind the Black Pearl, this unique steam-driven creation named after Jack Sparrow’s pirate ship.

The rear wheel of the vehicle is driven by a large crankshaft – unfortunately, the power source is also the limitation of the entire operation: the bike only has a top speed of around five miles per hour. Still, for a relaxing trip through town sure to draw attention, it would definitely be a lot of fun to ride.
