I Have Heard Of Steam Trains,

steam rollers, steam boats, steam cars even,


 but never a steam motorbike, until now,

the bike is driven by a direct drive rear wheel crankshaft, and is the work of René van Tuil, at Revatu Customs in the Netherlands, it does have it's limitations, the top speed is only 5 mph, although not mentioned I guess the handling would leave a little to be desired and I did not see how the brakes worked,

 but with a name like the Black Pearl from the movie with it's nautical connections to stop you just throw an anchor off the back! but seriously what a feat of engineering.
