The starting solenoid may be shot up. Replacement time.
Though, not uncommon but it happens, investigate the starter motor itself. (Remove from engine, place on floor , get jump leads, put the bike battery on the floor)
I say this , as you may get sparks flying and wear gloves , do it away from the bike itself. You will know if the starter motor is healthy and spinning strong.
If you press start on the bike itself , and the engine makes a “big thud” sound at the crank ==> check your sprag clutch (behind the flywheel itself , but i hope not, as its means more work removing the flywheel!)
Good luck and try to take a break so you can enjoy your holidays and return to her with a renewed mind 😉
