How crap is the extension?
Well it is a relative thing. At the top would be .com and the ccTLDs. The .biz gTLD only has around 2M domains registered but it is a relatively solid performance. In terms of recognition, it is is very much a fourth choice extension and many companies don't even bother with it.

Do the yanks recognise it?
They may do. But again the .com seems to be dominant.

Any seo penalties - i.e. do they rank well?
Not really an SEO head but if a site was properly promoted, it should do well. However the big problem will be leakage to the .com site of the same name.
