Looks like a watercooled inline four to me. Those only came after
nearly 60 years of aircooled boxertwins and singles.

Methinks a HD badge would be more apt.

Not totally sure, but the 1911 Wilkinson is one of the contestants
there. It _is_ the first longitudinal watercooled shaftdrive inline
four.

(yes, Wilkinson, as in razors and swords)
