I was coming down hill on a duel about 70mph (on a motorbike) and I passed some cyclists. To me it didnt seem as though I was passing them very quickly. I estimate them to be cycling at about 50mph. When I go downhill, no matter how fast I cycle in top gear I dont reach anywhere near that. Do they have larger gears or something?

Larger gears, higher cadence, bigger build (heavier), slightly better position...any of a number of things.

A reasonably skilled rider can descend a twisty road faster than cars and motorbikes in a lot of cases.
