I've activated the rear ABS on my CB, to the point that I can feel the pedal pulse under my foot like it would on a car. On the front, I've never managed to get the same feeling. I've definitely braked hard enough to get the front wheels to begin to lock up (with all the weight shifted forward due to my clip-ons I can lift the back tire an inch or so off the ground under full braking) and I've never actually felt it kick in.
The bike is typical Honda -- decent components mix and matched and engineered enough to work way better than they have the right to. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually did manage to make the ABS so transparent you can't actually notice it.
