YMC (motorcycles and buggies)

YMC (the initials stand for Yiannoulas Motor Company and should not be confused with the initials unofficially used for Yamaha Motor Company) was a Greek brand of vehicles established in early 2000s; the company was member of the Athens-based Yiannoulas Group.

Unlike earlier Greek motorcycle companies, YMC was not a proper manufacturer. It assembled a number of vehicles (scooters, motorcycles, ATVs and buggies) built mostly in China or Taiwan on (frequently) YMC designs, as production costs in Greece were considered too high; only specific parts for some models were actually made in Greece. Financial problems forced the company out of business in 2011.
