Hmmm. Change the spark plugs for sure. You may want to dump some fuel in the carb.

If the fuel has been in there the time, drain that and put fresh fuel in it.

Definitely don't start the bike with the old fuel. Drain that and clean out the tank of any debris, bugs and carbon build-up. Fill up with fresh fuel. Make sure bike is warm(do it in the sun) and the battery is strong. Be sure that choke is opened all the way and hit the button. May take a few kicks, but it should work.
