Thank you all so much for the tips and lines of enquiry.
Something else has happened and I have captured it on camera, will you all please take a look?
I had a look at the service history, the previous owner had a garage fault find an 'intermittent starting' issue in April 2015 (500 miles ago, he only did that much until he sold it to me). I then bought over a year later in September 2016 and he'd barely used the bike. The garage changed the starter relay.
Could it by the starter relay has gone again? I could buy one off eBay for a mere £10 brand new if that's likely to be the issue?? I'm now thinking battery again but it otherwise seems fine though.

The video is WEIRD.

- Bike is running
- In neutral
- Starter button is playing up so pressing it does nothing
- I then noticed if I rev the bike a little THEN press the button, it works!
- I can consistently reproduce this revving to fix feature.
- If the bike is not running, turning the throttle doesn't help to get it starting again.
- WTF?
