I am the original owner of a 2006 VFR 800 in Pearl Cosmic Black.....Canadian Version...not sure if this is any different than the US version. I have never seen another VFR 800 of this year, in this colour.....does anyone know if I can find the mfg information on how many bikes in this colour were sold in the US and Canada in 2006..? I am just wondering on the rarity or non-rarity of my bike for re-sale purposes. I have 5400 original KM's on the odometer at present which equates to around 3200 miles. Original tires and 100% OEM. I have not seen another VFR 800 of this year with as low mileage.
The VFR is somewhat harder to find to begin with due to lower manufacturing and sales numbers (compared to supersports, or other higher-demand bikes). I don't know what colors were offered in Canada, but the US had pearl white and pearl black for '06 (one of the few years they offered more than one color). 2006 was the only year that color was offered in the US (2004 had flat black - asphalt; 2009 was a gloss black), so perhaps it is rare, though not necessarily highly sought after compared to other colors. Miles are INCREDIBLY low, and I'd take ANY color if the mileage was that low so I think that would be your main selling point, aside from being completely stock.
I have a pearl black abs 06-I have never seen another one in my state either, mine has 8900-it is interesting to know the black one's are a very rare bike especially with the abs.
