Don't know anything about your bike specifically but,
Does the bike have an immobiliser on it?
Is it fuel injected or carbs?
Have you tried jump starting it?
Have you tried bump starting?

The fact that you say nothing happens say to me it's the starter relay or before. If it was the starter motor or low voltage you usually get a click out of the relay.
I'm sorry to say you need to get a wiring diagram and multimeter and start following the voltage. The circuit is battery- fuse-imobiliser (if fitted) - ignition- kill switch - starter switch - relay. The fuse and switches are easy to test, the relay easy to swap. To prove the point, you can always jump 12 volts straight onto the relay. If it turns over the problem is nearer the battery still.

Trophy Troubles
My Trophy does exactly the same, i will be following my electrics from the start switch down. If i come accross anything, ill let you know. So far, the only other problem has been that the main cable to the starter mootor works its way loose and the arcing causes oxidising of the connection, followed closely by very poor starting. Emery paper and a 10mm spanner sorted that one!
