At a Glance
Ed Babbitt opened a small dealership in Muskegon, Michigan in 1965. He was a hard working farm boy that had a desire to go fast; in turn, led to the beginning sales of snowmobiles and racing of course. Ed soon out grew his small business and moved down the road to a better location with a larger building, where we are still located after numerous additions and adjacent property acquisitions.
I shouldve researched them a little better before ordering, and dug deeper on their return policy. They have a rectifier that according to their website is compatible with my atv, and checked return policy and in the return policy it says as long as its not used it can be returned. Upon receiving the incorrect part for my atv, I filed for a return, but deeper down in the smaller print, it says electrical and fiberglass parts are returnable. Why would that be? Does shipping it interfere with its performance, if so, why ship it to me. I believe they purposely have parts listed properly and make it unreturnable to con customers into buying stuff and having them sruck with it. Ill make sure to use a more reputable supplier next time.
I had a terrible experience with Babbitt’s and would NOT recommend doing business with them. I ordered a part back in May that was on backorder. Six months later—yes, six months—the part finally shipped. By that point, I no longer needed it, so I reached out immediately to return it. Their response? I could return it ONLY for store credit, even though the extreme shipping delay was entirely on their end. I asked for a reasonable exception due to the circumstances, and they flat-out refused offering me store credit. Any reputable company would take responsibility for a half-year delay and issue a refund, but Babbitt’s refused to work with me in any way. This kind of customer service is unacceptable, and I won’t be ordering from them again. Save yourself the headache—shop somewhere that actually values its customers.
Babbitts is the worst place i have ever delt with.. i WAS a customer since 1982 & bought many bikes from them.. Their add said free oil change even if u didnt buy the bike there.. i didnt have the add with me & was accused of lieing about the add !!!!! I have PTSD from previous cycle crash cuz the frame broke on a bike i bought from them new in 2015... They knew i had PTSD cuz ive had my service dog in there & talked to employees about why i have him...So they harrassed a disabled senior & yes i yelled back.. i will take them to court & i have the whole thing on my body cam !! I was riding my bike that day & i always wear my body cam while riding a motorcycle... They will deleat this like they did my last message...
Just got a new quad there last weekend. Great OTD price and an amazingly helpful staff. Not pushy but there when you need them 100%.
Hey! I brought my boat here because no one else could diagnose it. They tested it and diagnosed, and the boat is fixed! They were very professional and effective. So glad I brought it to them, I highly recommend. Particularly impressed with Antonio Mendoza, he was great to work with as a service advisor. Communication was on point and I’m back on the water! Thanks Babbitt’s!

Motorcycle Buyer's Guide – Babbitt's Sports Center
Buying a motorcycle from Babbitt's Sports Center in Muskegon, Michigan? Follow this checklist before you commit.
- 1
Verify the title and VIN
Check the VIN on the frame, engine, and title to confirm they match. Run the VIN through a motorcycle history report. Babbitt's Sports Center should be able to provide documentation for any bike in their inventory.
- 2
Check the fork seals and bearings
Look for oil weeping down the fork tubes — a sign the seals need replacement. Grab the front wheel and push/pull firmly to check for play in the steering head bearings.
- 3
Inspect the chain and sprockets
A worn chain will have excess slack and the sprocket teeth will look hooked or pointed instead of rounded. Chain and sprocket replacement runs $200–$500. Factor that into your offer if it's needed.
- 4
Check tire age and tread depth
Look for the DOT date code on the sidewall — tires over five years old should be replaced regardless of tread. Tires are a safety item, not a cosmetic one.
- 5
Take a test ride
Confirm the clutch engages smoothly, the brakes feel firm, and the bike tracks straight at speed. Listen for valve noise, exhaust leaks, or electrical issues. A short test ride catches problems a visual inspection misses.
