Honda didn't release a lot of (technical) documentation about the CB1100R. Along with the bike came the Owners Maintenance Manual, a combination of Owners Manual and Workshop Manual. The Owners Manual part is pretty common whereas the Workshop Manual part is very briefly, it's all there but not a large collection of instructions combined with pictures as Honda does in regular Workshop Manuals. Clearly written to be used by skilled mechanics only. It has been released in English, French or German. It's indispensable for people who maintain their own bike(s).

Next to that Honda has released Part Cataloques, some in bookform, some as microfiche and some as both. Honda has released 4 cataloques:  number 1 regarding the RB only, 2 regarding the RB and RC, 3 all 3 models and finally 4 also regarding all 3 models. The last one is only available as microfiche. It's very useful to order parts, to find out if NOS parts are useful or what parts can be used of other bikes (like the CB900F or CBX).

Along with the bike came a Set-up Instructions booklet. In it it is explained how to prepare the crated bike to a roadworthy one ready for it's first owner. It describes how to uncrate the bike, give it it's first service and to perform the final testride. It doesn't contain anything useful unless you want to (un)crate a CB1100R. It's just a collectors item.
