Having put over 60,000 miles on two R1100S's and about 24,000 miles on an R11RT, as well as having ridden Dan's R1150RT, I agree with the consensus to go with the R11S. For one thing, unless she's real strong, the S is over 100 lbs lighter than the RT and quite comfortable. Never try to judge riding comfort by sitting on the bike in the showroom. Well designed bikes are dynamic beings and without the wind factor you can't get the full picture. And unless she has real bad knees, the peg lowering won't be needed, so take Dan's advice and ride it some first before lowering.
In summary, for me the R11S was MORE comfortable than an RT unless you are talking riding with a PAX....but that's a different question entirely.
