Another reason, which you didn't mention, is that black is easiest to "maintain". Brightly colored leathers or textiles are only brightly colored for a couple of rides, then they begin to get gray and dirty. Black is less sensitive - you don't see the exhaust particles, oil droplets, insect splats and other things that a rider "collects" on a typical ride. If you see someone riding in brilliant white or yellow leathers, they are either on their way home from the shop where they just bought them, or they are "poseurs" who are trying to look cool, but don't really ride their motorcycle.
