i bought my wife a used vulcan 500 for her first street bike. low center of gravity, light and seemed to have plenty of pep without having too much.
i think it was about 6 months later when i sold it and bought her a new honda shadow aero 750. good power, low center of gravity, has more of a growl and looked pretty damn good. it was the perfect bike for her.
she is 5'2". if it were not for her bad ankle she would probably still have it.
don't worry about having a Harley or a new shiny ride until you have some miles under your belt. like it's been said, dropping a used metric doesn't hurt nearly as bad as dropping your new Harley..
good luck

Hmmm.. how much? Or are you interested in a trade of some sort?
That is a nice Vulcan 1of2 has and would be a perfect starter, I have a pic of it somewhere , will try and find it for you.
