It's a big bike. Tough to recommend over the Internet to a stranger. Going from a GB to this guy is a bit of a leap. At the very least, assume you're going to drop her and get case savers/engine guards for her. Try laying her down on grass with a friend to help and see what you can do on your own.
I'd have you look at a Moto Guzzi V7 if you have a dealer near by. Or the Triumph Bonneville, or the new Honda 500's or 700's.
A friend about your size has a NT650 Hawk and she rides the snot out of that bike. Has not had a leg over my CB1100 yet so I'm not sure what she thinks of it. Her skill level is better than mine.
