My Mrs has a GSR750 which she can put both feet down comfortably on, moreso than the SV she had previously. She finds that it's the width of the bike rather than the height that causes issues.

I ride a V-Strom 1000 which is a bit too tall for me, however the more you ride the more confident you get and don't worry so much that you can't put your feet down flat.

I would suggest that before you spend thousands on a bike and hundreds on getting it altered you get a small, narrow bike for a couple of years just to get your confidence up. Maybe a ninja 300 or similar.

If you want more advice I'll put you in touch with the other half, she's sat on just about every bike there is to see what she can fit on.
