If you can find a used C14 in your area, take her with you on a test ride. From the passenger perspective (my wife rides with me as well and I've changed bikes in the past just because she was uncomfortable) there is a HUGE difference between a cruiser and a sport touring bike. Seat comfort is the obvious one, but power delivery, braking, exhaust, knee angle, wind management, space between rider and passenger, and suspension all come in to play. I've learned this the hard way
