With the bike in neutral, the clutch pulled in to make sure, jump directly to the starter + terminal from the good car battery, - cable to a good grounding point, and see if the starter spins.. If it doesn't spin, you need a new starter. If the starter spins (and the bike starts with the switch in the RUN position) then you may need a new starter solenoid. Like geezer said, in the Bendix type drive from the starter to the engine, all those gears could be messed up and it's locked up and you may have to look at that. Shouldn't be too hard to isolate the problem if you go stepwise and check each component in the line.
