If she wants to ride, and still wants to after a few months of riding I would suggest a Harley, if that's what she wants. A used FXR, or a Softail, or Dyna are all good starter bikes. Most people don't think so. Most women I know who start riding have started on Fatboys and FXR's. Not a Sportster, they are too top heavy. The other bikes are lower, and have better center of gravity, and balance. She should get a bike she wants to ride, and then she won't be wanting a bigger bike in a few months. She also should look for a bike, any bike, at someplace other than the dealer. Buy used, less money, no break in, and if it gets dumped there will be less cringe factor.
