Babbitt's Sports Center is honored to accept the Ichiban Platinum award from Kawasaki. The Ichiban award is presented to Kawasaki's most prestigious dealers and platinum is the highest level with only 4 dealers nationwide achieving Platinum status. Big honor, but then again, the team at Babbitt's has been all about letting the good times roll — and winning — since 1965!
Team Babbitt's is a Monster Energy/Kawasaki/Amsoil backed AX Team that has won seven Arena Cross National Championships in 11 seasons of racing and are looking to win many more!
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 outgrew 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.
Ed Babbitt Sr., has passed on, but his legacy still lives on as the Team still continues to thrive as one of the largest OEM Parts dealers in the country. Babbitt's is a devoted group of employees with the highest ranked customer service in our territory, not to mention the aforementioned AX team that has more wins than any other team in history. Babbitt's has also added a GNCC Racing team to its resume along with sponsoring a Supercross team…
The Platinum Ichiban award is proof the winning ways continue. Let the good times roll!
