Default Bike for the wife-suggestions ??

I am wanting to get the wifey a new bike, but don't really know which way to go. I plan on picking a few out, then letting her go try them to see if they fit her. I am wanting to get her on a lighter bike than her current V-Star 650. She struggles w/ it in parking lots and such, and if it starts over, it goes down. Even then, she has only dropped it twice the whole time she has owned it. I don't know if there are any bikes more favorable, but at least they may be somewhat lighter, anything will help.
She is short, and even the V-Star is barely low enough, so no tall bikes. She's has 7800 miles in 3 years on her bike now.
