Thanks for your suggestion.
Due to my height, I wasn't sure which model to check out.
Comfort would be a plus. I have ridden a sportster, and no offense
to anyone, it kinda wore me out.
I would want a bike that is easy to handle too.
Thanks,
Kenley

What you want the bike for will play a role in your decision about what bike. If you plan on doing some longer distance touring, then that is important in your decision. If you want a quick little scoot to run around town to see the other riders, that is a different sort of bike. So give that some thought.
If you have already taken the Rider's Edge course from HD, great. If not, this might be a good option since HD will usually try to put you on a bike that will encourage you to want one. So they will probably put you on a bike with a low center of gravity, and hopefully one that has been lowered so that stopping at lights and intersections is not as scary. See here:

Should that not be available locally for you, the Dealership might rent bikes. This is a bit pricey, so if you can narrow the field down to a couple of models that you have researched and like, that would be better.

Another idea is to go to some rallys and look for other women riding their own bikes that are about your physique. Ask them about their rides, and what they have done to them to make them more comfortable to handle.
Finally, check out these:
Low Rider
Softail Rocker
Night Train
With lowering and a low profile seat, you should be able to make these sorts of bikes low enough for you. But go into the Dealership and find a Salesperson that you like, and that is not trying to immediately sell you something. Their job is to sell bikes, but some of them want to make sure that their customers are happy six months later too, so they will take the time to find out what you really want. Find that person on the Sales floor.
Welcome aboard!!
