Just for my 2 cents worth.... Definately agree on the MSF!!! And then if she wants to ride a cruiser, then start on a 250 something, honda rebel, or other!!! My wife started on a rebel before we met and within 2 weeks was upgrading to, well, ok, maybe not necessarily an upgrade LOL, but got a 1200 custom Sporty.... Then after that shook the crap out of her for a couple of years she got herself an 06 America.... Now on the other side of the coin, there is a lady that we ride with in a local group, she road on the back for many years, then decided to take the class, and as soon as she got done with the class, she bought a VTX1300..... Wayyyyyy too big for her.... I dont know how well she did in the course, but she definately got way too big of a bike or should be giving up riding her own permanently before she hurts herself or someone else... She has actually stopped in the middle of some 15 mph corners and walked the bike cuz she gets so freaked out in the twisties..... And she has been riding now for about a year on her own.....
