There was an older guy on my MSF course who had been riding a 250 scooter for a year. He struggled a lot, so half way through the first day the instructors took him off the motorbikes and got him to use his own scooter.
He still struggled. One of the scarier sights I've seen to be honest - knowing that this guy had been riding on public highways for a year already and still possessing such little control over his scooter.
I don't think that this guy will ever be able to ride a proper motorbike. I've known other people throughout my life with very little coordination who I think would struggle with the controls. If you can drive a manual car I'm pretty sure you have the faculties to ride a bike.
