Registered trade mark? It's not unusual for a company to recycle a product name.

Not a coincidence, Arctic Cat has been around since 1960 and made the minibikes and snowmobiles then eventually came to make a host of off road products. Likely owned by a conglomerate now but was started by Edgar Hetteen in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

Thats pretty cool.

I wonder how many people realize the minibike origin of the prowler name?

I know lots of brands recycle names, but usually its a name with significance. Challenger, Charger, ect. Not a minibike from the 60s that many people never problem even knew existed
