Start with the simple and work toward the complex. Gas in tank, fuel turned on, spark to plugs, is the engine flooding, check to see if the plugs are wet with gasoline. Is the battery up to charge? If it is weak, there may not be enough power left for a hot spark.

Doh! It's probably DOA. It'd be best to scrap it or just sell it for parts and buy new.
OR.....
You could check out this thread and post a tad bit more info:

Go to Wal-mart or wherever and get a cheap multimeter and do the stator papers.
Don't be intimidated. Read it over and fix that charging system.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.
