motorcycle doesn´t start just clicks

gah. my motorcycle was working fine until one night after work i tried to ride it home and it wouldn´t start. i took the battery out and recharged it and then tried putting it back in and it wouldn´t start again...would sort of turn over a bit in the beginning and then the lights would dim and it would be reduced to clicking (no engine turning over). i recharged it a second time but still no dice. i´ll buy a new battery tomorrow (anyone know what size...its diff. from most?) but any other ideas for what could be wrong?
