Just a thought, considering the low mileage and relative age.

Shortly after recieving my Sprint, new, the bike ran finefor a couple of weeks but then wouldn't restart after a short stop (to pick up some wax for my baby). Called the dealer and he suggested checking the battery terminals. Disconnected the wires scraped a small amount of oxides off the terminals (I think I used my fingernail), reconnected the wires and the bike fired up and the problem never resurfaced again. The oxide layer may prevent your battery from recharging properly, thus causing your problem. Won't restart on its own, but will with a jump.

Also the 1200 Trophys around here (Florida, always warm) have had similar problems and it seems to be related to the vacuum line kinking. Although they usually run longer than you are before the problem occurs.
