My wife did the same. We found her a used Honda VLX, 1500 miles for 3,000. This is a light easy bike to ride. She rode it for 6 mos. and is ready for a Harley. My advice to her is to pick out 2 or 3 models like a Dyna, Heritage, and Softail Standard. Ride them and find the one she likes best. They can fit her to the bike by lowering it or a reach seat or combination. A friends wife lasted 3 months on a Sportster traded for a used Heritage and now you could not get her on a Sportster.
