Default Bad Boy Gets New Name


Shortly after being absorbed into the Textron collective, it appears Bad Boy Off Road is about to lose their name:

Most people don't associate" Bad "in the name of a product as a good thing. I always thought, just by the name they were some second rate Chinese machine.

Don't know about their build quality but their reputation for service after the sale has been very questionable. I read from a variety of different forums from all different brands and the general consensus is there after the sale service lacks much to be desired, especially when one considers the very high price tag associated with the brand. Rumor has it that they were going bankrupt so Textron bought them out. Will have to just follow along the forums and see what happens.

I would be hesitant to buy anything they make. They need to prove they have improved in reliability before I would ever consider them.
