If the bike ran well before you parked it, then do the obvious things first.

Make sure you are getting fuel. Make sure there are no vacuum leaks. Check every hose and make sure everything is good. Go a head and drain the tank and put in fresh gas. (Put the old in your lawnmower). See if it starts.

If it doesn't, check to see if you are getting spark by pulling out the plugs and grounding them. (Don't zap yourself it hurts... TRUST ME). If you are getting spark and it still doesn't run, I would start by cleaning the carbs. If gas sits in the carbs for a long period of time, it can gunk them up and then it won't run for crap. Clean, and visually sync the carbs. Then install and fire it up.

If that doesn't work then it could get interesting.
