Starter motor, ignition switch, bent flywheel. I'd suggest dropping the gearbox out and having a look at the teeth that ring the flywheel, because it sounds like there might be a whole lot of crud in there, or maybe even some broken teeth.
Sorry it couldn't be better news.
As for how long it takes to start, mine is the same, but I'm not too worried about it, sometimes it kicks the first time I turn it over, sometimes the engine goes around three or four times then fires...the only time I will worry about it is if it doesn't crank of if it doesn't fire at all...other than that...it's a VN, they have a few quirks, but that's why we love them so much. |

| generally u could just hit your starter motor with something, i used to do it to my car when it sh**t itself, then if it starts up after you hit it a couple of times then yeah new starter motor :D |

| It's probably the starter motor not engaging the flywheel properly. Either that or it's not disengaging properly when you let go of the key. Either way...I think you'll need to drop your gearbox out and have a look. |
