Buy a new battery, you've done well to get it this far!
Hmmm....not so fast. Buying a charger is a good idea anyway particularly considering lack of use but my battery is 12 years old and still original and no probs reported.
It could be a fuel issue, perhaps carbs have dried up? When did you start it last?
(By the way, the optimate has a conditioning program that is designed to plug onto the battery when it's being stored for any period of time. It keeps the battery in tip top condition ready for whenever you need it next. There's a lead supplied so you don't even have to remove battery or seat)
