Sould be fine, Sam. smile

Put the battery on charge and whilst it's being done treat the bike to an oil change - it doesn't take long and it doesn't take a lot of oil either.

Give the tyres an inspection and check their pressures. Make sure there aren't any cracks in the walls too.

Once the oil is renewed then crank the engine over with a few kicks on the kick-starter, ignition off. This will prime the lubrication system.

When the battery's charged then replace it. Turn the petrol on and pull the choke out.

She should start up and perhaps cough and splutter as she clears her throat before settling down, hopefully. hmm

A few months laid up shouldn't harm the bike at all, as long as you are careful and methodical in ressurecting her.
