Even though they are all similar in their experience, one or two of the group will definitely still be faster than the rest, even if they ride the same bikes. Now this is not to say that we can be born with some moto-genetics or anything, but some people do have genetic make-ups that allow them to process the necessary info required to ride a motorcycle better than others. That type of person could go on to be super-fast at a racetrack with some proper teaching and seat time.
