Default Need some input!

Hello,
I'm new to riding and would like some information about what bike would be good to start out on. My wife and I are going to take a riding class this next week and then go and buy a bike the next few days after that. I'm around 6 ft and 210 lb and my wife is around 5 ft 2. This bike would have to be something that we both can handle as single not 2 up. I myself have been lucky enough to have friend that let me riding theirs around the parking lot at work and around my home here in Tn, so I know I would feel ok with 1400cc bike, but I don't think my wife will. All my friends think the Honda Shadow 750 would be perfect for us for the first couple of years and then I should be able to buy one just for me. Any help on this would be great.
