Great starter bike for sure! Always happy to see fellow women get in the saddle on their own.
Keep in mind that there are ways to lower bikes of all kinds. I have a lady in my group that had a 2005 America that she lowered and switched out the seat to be more low profile and it gave her enough to get her feet on the ground. She is all of 5' tall. She is now looking at a new Bonneville, which traditionally sit higher than an America, and there are ways to get it low enough for her as well.
Good luck with the Virago! I hope your wife enjoys it!
