What's hard about keeping black clean? Wash, wipe and ride. No polishing for hours to make it all shiny.

Polishing for hours? Chrome usually just needs a quick wipe. Maybe you're thinking of polished aluminum? That can be a bit of a chore.

I prefer a little bit of everything; Paint, chrome, black, aluminum, polished aluminum, stainless, brass, copper, and nickel. Some like just all of one like below:

Chrome won't get you home!

I like a balance of the flat black & chrome for my SB. Kinda going for that old school look.
The wife has a decent amount of chrome on her WG (more on the way piece by piece) which I also think looks good.
Too much chrome looks cheap to me though. Just figure they bought plastic chrome plated China crap.
I don't think chrome will ever go completely out though.

I'm for a mix of both but I don't have the standard black bike either.
