Could be bad fuel....
Also try jump starting it off your car or a GOOD battery- bike battery might be struggling....

I had an identical issue last week, though my bike hadn't been sitting for the last 6 months. I tested my battery and it failed the load test - dead battery. Put a new battery in and it started straight away.
