That bike looks perfect. Light, automatic and a low seat. Would be much easier to learn on than the Big Bear I posted.

I've seen some on here post of their wives riding. My wife is 4'10'' so she has a hard time fitting on most bikes. My V-Strom is way too tall (she is okay while it's moving but her stopping is very amusing) and the Big Dog has forward control that she could only dream of reaching. She does like the Yamaha R3 although she is still on tip toes and I know that we can get lowering kits for most of the popular bikes.

Is anyone here about that short or have a wife that short that rides and what is the bike?

I don't know if this would be a possibility or not but the seat height is 26" and the Spyder F3 is a U-fit design, the foot pegs are a one time adjustment to the operator along with pull back handle bars. This is set up for the size of the operator when you purchase it. If its a possibility stop in at a Can-Am dealer, they usually have a F3 u-fit in the show room and can adjust to fit by sliding the controls along the rails and the grips have 4 different locations to fit the rider. They have stability control, anit-lock brakes, air suspension, paddle shift or a 6-speed tranny and a radio. Here's a pic of mine

They seem interesting but my wife doesn't even want a car with an automatic.

Great suggestion but too many wheels and way too many dollars. She has set her mind on the R3 so no I just have to make it happen. I have to get her some more gear too; I'm way over protective.
