Bike won\'t go..... battery issue.....

I know i should be answering all of my questions here myself.... but i think i'm missing something.

Fired the bike up yesterday after giving the bike a charge and pootled round the huge car park for 10 mins to warm it up and run for a while. Didn't take the multimeter reading at the time as i wanted to start it again from cold.

So got in today and fired it.... Not even close.... everything turning over, but simply far to slowly and without enough power to get close to starting. MM is reading 12.61v

Now i was under the impression that anything over 12.5v would be fine for cranking it over ?

I'll charge it up in a bit and get it running again about lunchtime just to check with a MM that it's charging when running.

Battery is 2 years old and has only been ridden once, but i get the impression it was well looked after in garage with Optimate.
