It does seem that with bikes, unlike cars, there is a certain correspondence between engine size and competence. Any idiot can drive a 2 litre car (and often they do).
Hrrrumph!
But on the whole, it does seem to be the case that the riders who nearly kill you doing stupid things are all on relatively small-engined bikes, and the larger ones may well overtake you at high speed, but will at least do so safely.
I would guess there is a certain amount of natural selection going on...
