'''Werner''' was founded by two brothers, born in Russia, but living in Paris, Michel and Eugene.  Their first [[motorcycle]] a 217cc single started production in 1898 and was very light and practical causing it to sell well.  The most notable model was their 1901 '''New Werner''' whose layout, with the engine set low in a diamond-style bicycle frame, greatly improved handling and set the pattern for years to come.
