I think it's important to hold a hand signal as long as needed and having a passenger to do just that means more control for the operator.

Any bike with CBS must still have two separate inputs for braking, even if (as on the Honda VFR1200) each control independently operates both front and rear brakes. By contrast, a car is required to have only one braking system for dynamic braking (i.e. braking when moving), plus a separate parking brake. The justification for two separate braking systems is that, compared to cars, a motorcycle has, proportionately, a higher centre of gravity, a shorter wheelbase, a higher power-to-weight ratio, and a smaller tyre contact patch area. All these factors lead to a much greater weight transfer to the front wheel on braking, and a greater risk of skidding.[4] A rider needs to be able to use each brake independently to maintain...    less
