Arctic Cat Motorcycle models

1972

In 1970, Arctic Enterprises Inc. came out with their mini bike line up. The production facilities were located in Thief River Falls Minnesota. Over the next 3 years slight engineering modifications were made to the frame to make them better quality. All AC models used the same frame from 1970 through 1972 with the exception of the 72 Scout. In 1972, production was moved to General leisure Products Corp, a subsidiary company of Arctic Enterprises Inc.
