Everyone is going black now, sort of a fad like "rat-rods"
(I hate that term)
I like the blacked out look, but when it's a factory tough guy look option, it kind of makes it uncool. I'm not talking about the Speedmaster here in particular, but look at all the bike manufacturers and see how many different blacked out bikes there are
Now, take a bike that has some chrome or some grey or other paint and black it out yourself, that's a different story.
Just my opinion, but the 'satin finish' look is just another trend
