Cruisers in general are not good bikes to learn on, particular those with forward controls. There are plenty of "adventure" style (aka dual-sport) bikes in the 500 to 800 cc range that are great starter bikes but quite able to keep up with the big cruisers. The Sportster is a terrible starter bike, too, but at least it has the foot pegs directly beneath the seat, where they're supposed to be.
My wife got the motorcycle bug when she turned forty, and just had to have a Sportster she saw for sale in the neighborhood. She dropped it the first time she came to a stop, but eventually she learned to ride it with the help of a motorcycle safety course. One day, coming home from a long ride, she dumped it when she hit a transition from gravel to pavement that I had just gone over with my bike. She dislocated her thumb, which required surgery and put her out of work for about six months (she's a hairdresser). She has only ridden the bike a couple of time since then.
