Cheapest, quickest way Sweden-Morocco

I am currently looking to try and find this answer myself, but maybe someone out there can help me.

We are planning a trip Sweden to Morocco two up on a 950 Adventure, March 2007, currently trying to find the quickest, best, easiest, cheapest way to get from Sweden to Morocco. We've both been to most countries in between at least a few times so there is nothing in specific that we want to see there and the idea of losing a week driving through Europe twice is not that appealing (Distance from where we stay in Sweden to Ronda, Spain is approx 3500km's so would be 3 days driving each way. We have planned to take 3-4 weeks total time).

Currently I'm looking through all ferries, UK-Spain, Spain-Morocco, France-Morroco etc etc but was wondering if any of you wisened travellers out there have any tips how to get there as quick as possible and if possible do this within a reasonable cost, Trains, Trucks, other Transport any other options?

Thanks for you help!

is possible to go to madrid from Lille by train, but do not know for sure about taking a bike. would be worth checking. especially is this was overnight. I know the train passes through our local station (poitiers) about 10.30 pm) weekdays.
maybe worth checking on sncf.com, or travel/train agent.

The German 'Autozug' trains where you can take your vehicle along, used to go right through to Barcelona. But checking the web it seems they scrapped this connection and only go as far as Narbonne in south-west France (from Hamburg). It's not exactly cheap, but relaxing. And considering the costs for fuel & toll roads it might of interest.
