OK. Mind if I ask 20 questions?
How stock is the bike?
What was the last thing, mechanically speaking, that was done to it?
How healthy is the battery?
How fresh is the gasoline?
Do you always buy your gas from the same filling station?
Is it a major brand?
When you try to start it, do you hold open the throttle any?
Did you mod it to run richer than normal?
What are your riding habits?
Specifically, do you normally use it for short hops?
Or is it a weekend warrior?
Or both?
When was the last time you changed the spark plugs?
Plug wires?
Coil?
Tuned the bike?
Checked for intake leaks?
Exhaust pipe leaks?
Are there any error codes in the ECM?

Well, you asked. Just trying to narrow down the hundreds of possible causes to simple stuff.

Thanks,
Sparky
