THE COLLECTION
EVERY MOTORCYCLE HAS A STORY. OURS BEGINS IN MARRAKECH.
There are few cities where motorcycles have become part of the city's identity as naturally as they have in Marrakech.
Here, motorcycles are more than a way to get around. They have become part of the city's character, moving through the narrow maze of the Medina, slipping through streets where large vehicles cannot, and becoming an unmistakable part of Marrakech itself.
But Marrakech's identity goes deeper than its streets.
Among the deepest is the story of the Seven Saints of Marrakech.
Between the 12th and 16th centuries, seven scholars, Sufi masters and spiritual figures left a lasting mark on the city's identity. Centuries later, Sultan Moulay Ismail established the Ziyara of the Seven Saints, a pilgrimage linking their shrines across Marrakech. Over time, the tradition became one of the defining parts of the city's cultural heritage.
Today, millions visit Marrakech every year, but few discover this part of its history. Marrakech is also known as the City of Seven Men, a city whose identity has been shaped by the people who left their mark on it.
As both a Marrakchi and a custom motorcycle builder, I found inspiration in this connection between place, heritage and identity.
For this collection, I chose the Super Cub C90 as its foundation, a motorcycle deeply rooted in Marrakech's streets and perfectly suited to the city's character.
But this collection isn't about restoring old motorcycles.
It's about reimagining a symbol of Marrakech.
Each motorcycle in the BCE Collection is inspired by one of the Seven Saints, to carry a part of Marrakech's identity through industrial art, heritage and craftsmanship.
Every motorcycle begins with its own history.
SIDI BEL ABBES
Known as the patron saint of Marrakech, Sidi Bel Abbes devoted his life to helping the poor, travellers and the blind. His influence made him one of the city's most respected figures, and his shrine remains an important place of pilgrimage today.
Shrine: Zawiya of Sidi Bel Abbes, near Bab Taghzout.
— The Guardian —
Strength doesn't need to announce itself.
A life devoted to protecting others through compassion, humility and quiet courage.
SIDI YOUSSEF BEN ALI
Remembered for his humility and resilience, Sidi Youssef Ben Ali continued teaching despite living with leprosy outside the city walls. His life became a symbol of perseverance, patience and faith.
Shrine: Outside Bab Aghmat.
— The Restorer —
He found dignity where others saw despair.
A symbol of resilience, hope and the quiet power of renewal.
CADI AYYAD
Scholar, judge and author, Cadi Ayyad became one of the Islamic world's most influential intellectuals. His writings continue to be studied centuries after his lifetime.
Shrine: Near Bab Aylan.
— The Keeper of Wisdom —
Knowledge gives direction. Purpose gives it meaning.
A reminder that the strongest path is guided by clarity, not noise.
MOUAD EL BARAKA
Unlike the rest of the collection, this motorcycle isn't inspired by one of the Seven Saints.
Instead, it reflects my own interpretation of Moroccan identity through craftsmanship, engineering and traditional design. It serves as the bridge between Marrakech's heritage and the BCE Collection.
— The Origin —
The only motorcycle in the collection inspired by its builder, a personal expression of Moroccan identity.
THE COLLECTION CONTINUES
The BCE Collection is an ongoing project. As new motorcycles are completed, the remaining Saints of Marrakech will join the collection, each adding another chapter to the story.
