I really don't like Claud Butler. I've had nothing both bad experiences with them.

If i was going to recommend a bike to anyone looking to start out it would be Focus Fatboy a couple of my mates have this bike and its great. And a better price new with better(most probably) spec than that CB.
Have a look.
