Thanks for all of the replies!!! So the consensus here is that the CB1100EX is just too much bike for her. I won't let my biases force her into something that doesn't make sense for her. While all of the suggestions for a CB500 looks great to me, it's too "sporty" looking for her. Maybe it's what she grew up seeing me riding, but she wants something more traditional looking, My original thought was that I'd get something that I'd like to ride for when I was out there that she'd adopt also. Sounds like it makes more sense for me to let her do her own thing regardless of what my biases are.
Regarding her physical characteristics, she's 5'8, does crossfit religiously and is very fit (way more fit than I am) but I don't want to be in a position where I'm encouraging her to take on more than makes sense for her. At the end of the day, I'm probably just trying to justify getting myself a CB100EX to keep out there. Based on the comments here, I'll let her do her own thing.
