Honda Africa Twin Track Day at The Ridge Motorsports Park

Took my Dad's 2017 Honda Africa Twin out to the track with OPRT level 2 group on 7-3-22 and got to play around with a few sports bikes. She handled herself well!

[@nickkline9874]

dude, I love that you are there with your Dad. thats awesome.

[@redsv1000]

I ride my Multistrada on track, so love this! Was thinking the other day that an Africa Twin on 17” wheels would probably be a really fun bike

[@brianhoward9217]

It is a really fun bike on the standard wheels - just look what he's doing on this track!

[@yewtreeknives5834]

I have the NT1100 wich is a AT on 17" wheels, awesome bike 👍👍👍

[@mattyb7736]

My 2024 ATAS on a 19" front has upset a few on twisty roads. 😂😂

[@rmatthews9657]

You have inspired me to take mine to a track day. Just epic beating up on the knee draggers my man!!

[@dancefishdance]

So awesome hearing that! Give ‘em hell!

[@brianhoward9217]

Great footage, thank you. I'm looking at a 2024 AT currently and hoping they'll come with the supercharger - we'll see. You certainly have her carving up those corners - a real treat to think it is a large trail bike eating some of those sports bikes in the corner with your exceptional lean angles. Way to go!!

[@hsilva250]

Woooo impressive riding!! Great skills! Great bike! I’m just realizing how far I’m from the limits on my AT

[@dancefishdance]

They truly are amazing bikes, glad you enjoyed!

[@drz400sm5]

Just purchased one. I'm learning also. It's a big.

[@daverose4774]

Those other lads must of thought WTF DONE BY A THUMPER GREAT RIDING 👍

[@C_R_O_M________]

AT is hardly a thumper. It's a two-banger, aka twin cylinder.

[@mattyb7736]

​@@C_R_O_M________but...but....its a dirt bike that went past me.....!!!!! those poor wannabe road bike warriors 😂

[@Asdfghjkl1234]

Amigo. Excelente. I have this bike in Dct. Greetings from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽

[@timothyprice9064]

How do you like that automatic trans? Is it smooth and predictable?

[@sjefrules4283]

Wow m8, very nice driving, you know how to handle her. They rookies or not, takes skill either way to drive like that. You shift 2 or 3 times as much as the other bikes an those leans what a treat to watch. I got an AT, and i only ever liked all road bikes so much fun to she what they're capable off even on a track. Still got loads to learn myselve but very impressive to see whats possible. Cheers

[@yodo6414]

Very impressed, didnt realize an adventure bike was this capable

[@dancefishdance]

She’s doesn’t excel in one particular thing, but she is good at everything. They’re awesome all around bikes

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

This is a great video for scoping out the track for someone not on a sport bike. I wanna take my sleeper harley up to The Ridge since I live only 2 hours a way and see what it can really do on the track. This video is great because you have similar acceleration and speed. Very good view of the track itself. I appreciate the video!

[@dancefishdance]

Absolutely take your baby out to the track, you won't regret it. There's no better way to learn your bike than a few sessions out there. Super welcoming too with different levels. You'll see all sorts of bikes out there. My personal favorites are seeing the Goldwings and the Vespas haha

[@daveshelton9936]

That’s a real testament to the brakes on the AT!!!

[@dubreg6711]

your dad is obviously used to track days, i'm tempted to take my Desert X out now been thinking about it for a while

[@khoney696]

Very nice bro.well done

[@dleebox2268]

One thing for sure, it will get you where you're going👊🏽😎

[@watannen]

right then, im off to the track in my Nissan Patrol. Hoping to bag a few RS Meganes if not a Porsche.

[@dado4091]

Nice ride. Impressive. Conti attack 3 Tubeless?

[@GeeBeeMike]

Want an AT but am reluctant to trade my 2013 CB1000R for one because my CB is totally sorted with Ohlins, PCV, decat etc and it’s faster than my 2010 Blade was on track, but I want to do the miles and have room for luggage and pillion etc. having watched this it’s another tick in the AT box for sure. The AT has come such along way since it’s re-release. Epic riding BTW. Just shows you what’s possible with one of these.

[@dancefishdance]

I’ve owned a 2010 fire blade and I can confidently say I had more fun on the twin than I did on the blade. It was a great bike and I loved it but I can ride the twin all day and put her through the wringer for 6 hours and still feel fresh as I did when I first got on. 90 minutes on the blade and I’m cramping up. The twin isn’t great at one thing but it’s good at everything is how I like to put it.

[@Belfran]

Times? Dragging pegs? Any after market equipment? Thanks, love the view!

[@dancefishdance]

Running 2:04s and 5s. Couldn’t get a lap without battling traffic. Scraped pegs on both sides pretty much every corner lol no after market parts, box stock all around.

[@friktionrc]

What’s your shoe size and what colour underwear did you have on? 😉🤪😂

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Mk 1 AT keeps up with cramped racers on the track. Which is the better purchase for the road?

[@ariekhaikin]

the speed is in miles or km ?

[@dancefishdance]

These are in miles

[@khoroshen]

I thought it may be geared shorter than stock, but with speed being mph it makes sense 😅

[@PNWT3ch]

The CRF handles shockingly well on pavement.

[@kevinmccarley7121]

Very impressive ride! Yes, the big girl did great! Have you guys considered 17s front and back?

[@dancefishdance]

Haven’t really. Pretty much 50/50 between street and dirt year round.

[@vladlozan4363]

Do you have the original suspension springs on it?

[@dancefishdance]

Yup! Box stock, didn't even adjust any of the suspension settings as a 140lb rider.

[@SkarnDeBrax]

love it

[@rutankslappin]

What kind of street tires were you using ?

[@emanuil6334]

Nice ride. The other riders are rookies but the Africa is not for a track. However it did it well.

[@АндрейБулгаков-ю9м]

Круто очень! Полскажи пожалуйста , спидометр в милях?

[@robertorivelinopereiradano2368]

i have a dream, to have my crf africatwin

[@petersend_it2141]

DCT ?

[@dancefishdance]

Nope this one’s manual

[@nickkline9874]

nothing better than smoking sport bikes on an AT.

[@Antivir123]

80/20 rule 👍🤓

[@Enzo-ls3sl]

p̾r̾o̾m̾o̾s̾m̾ 🤗

[@fatfingergarage1]

Poor bike, not built for that. However, I occasionally run mine through the twisties and it is really good at it.

[@robertorivelinopereiradano2368]

Hey man you forgot to honk, get out of the way

[@alexanderpetuncheg8483]

Это ерунда, он просто забыл поменять шашку, слики остались дома...
