My wife started riding just a few years ago. She had never ridden a motorcycle before and was in her 40's. She started out on a cheap used Yamaha 550 and had problems with it from the word go, too heavy for her. She didn't like riding and would only do it when I insisted. We got the Savage last summer and she loves it. I wish I had started her out on the Savage, it is a great starting bike. If you go with a smaller bike, try to find a cheap one so you can trade it in on a Savage (or something else) in a few months. I think you'll be hooked.
