I mean keeping the sporty and buying a second bike...I have always liked the classic look and that's one of the reasons I chose the 48.
As for the second bike if there is some to spend I would like a vintage bike, something like the 50s R67 BMW, or 60s Bonnie, BSA or even an Indian sports. Before the 48 I was seriously looking at the Kawasaki W650, anyone here tried that one before?

Awesome Beeza! I almost pulled the trigger on a 2013 Triumph Scrambler. I still think its awesome but the 48 just takes style to the next level.

Instead of buying another Sportster and spending stupid $$ trying to make it quick & fast, with better brakes and handling, I skipped all that folly and bought a '05 Hayabusa. See my signature pic.
Like you I really do dig the older bikes, but they're so damn expensive! 'Matter of fact I was just watching a video earlier this evening that had a picture of HD's tiny original shop and some pics of chicks riding the early Harleys all donned in leather helmets, scarfs, and smoking cigarettes. 'See? From nearly the beginning, Harleys were girls bikes!!
