the riders or the bikes?

and I think it'd be hard to say... I mean they're trying to get an impression of the bikes... not blister the lap times...

yes... I noticed it quite a bit... much more bite on hard braking... my rear brake I locked up alot but that had a bit to do with new rearsets (brake lever at a diffrent angle) and new rear pads...
