Everybody rides differently, chasing someone on the same bike and thinking if he can go around it, I've got the same bike, I should be able to do the same is fundamentally wrong!!!
You have no idea on the input force and subtle things done by the rider in front. Even if he explains what he has done, the moment each action is done makes the difference between it being easy smooth corner, and freaking out and throwing it away.
Better to learn from experts than copy anyone else.
At the very least get yourself a copy of "Twist of the wrist" by Keith Code, but better to enrol in "California Superbike Cornering School", and then practice practice practice.
You'll be flicking it thru the twisties and draggin' a knee in no time at all. Speed and lean angle is just something that happens, you shouldn't TRY to do either, that way leads to gravel rash!
