First of all, you dissed the protocol of what to do when your bike won't start. You completely bypassed: cursing, throwing tools, etc., and went right to wanting to burn the bike.
Secondly, there are at least a dozen things that can prevent the spark plugs from firing, and another half dozen that can prevent fuel from entering the combustion chambers. It's pretty rare that you're not getting both fuel and a spark, so it's a good idea to see what is missing. If you have fuel and spark in the combustion chambers, then you've got other problems.
On my old bikes, I can easily attach my old timing light to a plug wire to see if I'm getting any kind of signal to spark. With newer bikes and the kickstand down all winter, I would probably bypass that safety switch first. Then I would check the fuel pump relay. Good luck.
