Sounds like a bad ground, to me, also. Don't just check the tightness of connections. They can look perfectly fine on the surface, but when you remove them to clean them, will find they can be corroded. Clean them good, and put dielctric grease on all of them. Then retry your test and starter.
If no luck, re-post, and we'll try step 2 and so on. Good luck.

I agree. Have you tried cleaning all of those wires that are usually stacked up on the ground at the engine?
I'll see if I can rattle ole cHarley's chain on this, he's pretty good with electrical issues.

Wolfman & Sporty Pig, i'll be doing that after work, When I swapped the battery I didn't think to check the ground wire.

ok, i'm currently in my office parking lot running off the wireless and my laptop.
I yanked the battery again to check the negative cable. Sort of caked with crap, not bad enough for me to notice the first time around. So i set the battery next to the bike and and hooked jumper cables to it after scrubing all the terminals.
Whaaalaaa!!! We have ignition and she's running. now its time for the grease and hooking it all back up.....
Wish me luck!

Sounds like a plan..... You need to join our group Tennessee Riders. We are throwing around ideas of local Tenn riders and visitors to the area getting together.
Maybe we can meet up, kick some tires and hit the trace one weekend!
