5 minutes may have been an overstatement, but it definitely took a long time. Did last year, too. If you've got the stock jetting and it's cold (< 55*F for my bike), make sure the choke it fully open - it won't start well otherwise.

After reading Kelly's post I'm starting to think that it may have been a good idea to drain the float bowls - but I didn't do that.

Presuming you put some stabilizer in the tank before you put it away for the winter, you should be able to start her up again relatively simply. If you didn't... you probably want to think about draining the tank into your cage and filling up with some fresh gas.
