Are the black standards attracting younger riders?

You bring up a great point Ferret- the combination of black 'and' chrome is the ideal (IMO). All black might be a bit too much, but black and chrome gives the CB a classic look (again-JMO).
Just a bit of a clarification I suppose. When/if I paint my bike -it will be tank only. Incidentally I picked up a Road Comet from Mt T recently in black (not blue).

I'm right there with you on that. I am one of those youngsters that bought a black 2014 recently and was wishing that the engine and wheels had been silver like the one that's available in Japan.

Japan - Deluxe:
America - Standard:

Beautiful looking machine!
