If you get a pair of jump leads or a car battery you can use them to power the bike and try to start it. This will establish whether it is the starter motor that is faulty or the power supply to it.
I did this with a car battery - it was just a case of switching the bike's battery leads to the car battery - takes 5 minutes - and it turned out to be the bike battery that was flat (starter motors need a lot of juice to turn them over).
I would also reccomend getting a hydrometer (which should cost £2 GBP from a cost cutting car parts retailer - great investment). Use this to check the charge of each cell in the battery - a useful troubleshooting tool.
Hope this helps...
