Another unique thing found on the Black Pearl is a typical bells and steam horn embedded in the front side of the motorcycle. To provide comfort to the rider, this bike has two shock absorbers that connects the steering to the wheel through a trailing link structure, with a drum brake that is assigned with the task of stopping the vehicle.
Because it is driven by steam, the Black Pearl is only able to reach a maximum speed of 8 kph (5 mph). Although it can not be used for daily riding, but this bike to take up a lot of attention, because it is considered as one of the outstanding work. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | RIDINGMODE]
