Gamma, the superlow looks like it fits your wife really well. I really loved my red superlow when I had it. One of the reasons I wouldn't go with the new Superlow 1200T is the weight difference - and there is a difference.
The 1200T is 599 lbs with gas. The Superlow is 562 with gas. That's a big (to me) weight difference.
The Superlow was meant to be a lighter bike and easier to handle. Once you hit the 600 mark of the 1200T you're getting away from what the Superlow was meant to be, in my opinion. Even the sporty customs don't weigh as much (584 gassed up). If she feels she needs more power in the future, I'd do a conversion. You already have the bags and windshield - which is the selling point of the 1200T.
I checked out the 1200T when it first came out - yes, its a touring sporty, but its not a "superlow" anymore and didn't feel like a superlow. It feels like a larger bike now.
