Bike will not start up! =(

Hey all,

Over the weekend I thought I'd be productive and give my bike a few tune ups. I changed my spark plug and gaped it to the recommend settings of .6-.7mm. I also replace my air filter, and finally put a new tank of gas with 3oz of seafoam. Once I was finished, I fired her up and rode for about 15-20 mins and was running very nicely, then tonight I tried to go for a ride and she would not start up.

After several tries I gave up and let the bike rest for 2 hours, then i came back and tried it again. This time when i tired the bike made a clicking sound, and almost seemed as if the battery was dying... I am not sure when the last time the battery was changed since i bought this bike about a month ago and it had 2 previous owners. Is it worth just buying a new battery or just get a battery tender to charge it? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
