This a linked brake system non abs.
The CBR1100XX and VFR800 featured what Honda called LBS II (now called Dual CBS), a system where both levers would activate both brakes through a system of secondary pistons and proportioning/delay valves.[7] One front brake caliper was connected to a secondary master cylinder, and the caliper was allowed to rotate slightly to apply pressure to the piston in that secondary master cylinder. Braking force was translated into pressure that was sent to the rear brake cylinder. Only the two outer pistons in the front brake calipers were directly activated by the brake lever; the center piston received pressure from the rear pedal via the proportioning and delay valve.
The C-ABS which is on the CB act in a very similar manner only that it apply braking to both calipers.
This system took some time getting use to on my XX, it will stand you straight up when braking hard in a turn. Try it and get use to it so if and when it happens you have a feel of what the bike is going to do.
Edit: A great example is shown in a video a member posted last year when he anticipated a SUV making a turn and went hard on the brakes.
