Looked up a 393 on Bricklink - whoa, my wallet had a heart attack. Thinking
about just recreating one from downloaded instructions, but the wheels &
tyres are of a type I have not seen before.  The wheels look like they could
double as paddle wheels without the tyres. Can't even find a MLCad version.

BTW - kinda bordering on the blasphemy part here, but picked up a Mega Blok
Super Bike at a garage sale (hey, for a buck even Mega Bloks are a bargain).
Been thinking about doing it in Lego, with some better construction ideas
(the MB approach was a bit too 'solid' with way too many 2x4's).

Here's a few to add:

393 Norton Motorcycle (1976)
394 Harley-Davidson 1000cc (1976)
(above two not really Technic, but way cool as LEGO model sets go)

Perhaps not technic, but still closer than some of the newer stuff in the
8000 range

I don't see why they shouldn't be included.

Hoping to find 393 and 394 whilst on holiday from tommorrow.
