OK, for us vertically-challenged, middle-aged, two-up riders....what's the best Buell model?

Wife and I have never been bikers, but think it will be good fun to tool down to Santa Fe on the weekends on a bike. I'm 5'6". Went to the local HD dealer recently and sat on a Softail Classic....felt like I needed training wheels....LOL!!! The HD low-rider was a great fit. Which Buell should I consider?

I'm a little shy of 5'6" and have a 2005 xb9sx. I adjusted the suspension spring and bought the "low seat" which worked out great for me.
