I am not sure what is causing it, but for me, it is a real phenomenon.
the lighting in the dealer ship is designed to do just that.. makes you fall in love with it.
want proof? Pull into a gas station at night when the fluorescent lights are on and notice how much better your bike looks than
when it's in your garage.
my bike also looks its best at dusk during sunset.
I also like to orient my bike differently in the garage.. sometimes I pull right in forward, sometimes I back in, so I get a different view of it whenever I go out there.

For my personal tastes, I prefer chrome over blacked out. I like that my bike stands out, and how it reminds me of the classic Harley-Davidson looks.
