Which isn't to say that Joe Bloggs could get on one of those bikes and be nearly as fast as the professional riders.

It's the money, though. The more money in the sport, the more gets invested in the machinery. Some teams have more money, which generally means that their machinery is better. I have no clues what could be done to prevent that.

It's simple Mick, tighter technical rules. Currently the racing in WSBK is at least as good as Motogp if not better and the lap times of a WSBK is around 2-3 seconds a lap slower. So you could ditch the aero and the suspension ride height BS and not only be faster than a WSBK bike but the racing would be better without the front tyre temp rubbish and the affect aero has on overtaking. Pretty easy really.
