A cruiser with a 26-27 inch seat height would probably make her the most comfortable and give here confidence. Can't believe I'm recommending a Harley but the 883 low would be perfect for her. its a bike that she can grow into and not feel its underpowered for years to come.
I would say the new Honda 250 but the seat height is about the same as the CB only lighter and easier to handle.
For 2 up, there are a lot of options out there depending on your check book. If my wife liked to ride with me the Goldwing or a BMW K1600 would be my first choice. Most cruiser are not 2 up friendly usually having narrow passenger seats.
If your tall with a 32-34 inch inseam you could also consider a sport tourer// St1300, Concourse, FJR, the St1300 has the lower seat of the 3 bikes ( i have rode tested all of them, be prepared the seats are not much better than the CB1100 ) To ride 2 up on these bikes you have to be planted with two feet on the ground.
Good Luck with your search.
