Even though I've now officially entered 'old fart' territory, I'm a fan of the blacked out look. Some people I know think I'm odd because I like the look of black wheels. Not sure it works so great on this bike though. Oldyaler makes a good point that the chrome looks out of place on the blackout model. I do think Honda Japan probably sells the blackout version to bring in some riders who are younger than our crowd, as the big CB does have wider appeal in a country like Japan, so if that's the rationale, I can understand it.
