If you must have a bike from the 80s, I would think any of the old UJM's would be good...but is going that far back really necessary? Finding the right bike from that age might be tricky (most are probably barely road-worthy beaters, or something much nicer that's had some level of restoration done to it, which could make it just too darn nice or expensive to use as a first bike).
I bet you can find an early naked SV-650 around somewhere...perhaps a 2003-up fuel-injected version. They're really great bikes, easy to manage, but nothing she'll ever get bored with. If that's not your thing, maybe a Honda Nighthawk, etc.
