Sounds like your motor was just a little sticky after sitting. The car battery has more oomph, and loosened the motor to distribute the good oil.

Did you change the oil before storage? If not, change it now.

And be very aware that the motorcycle battery may need replacing soon.

Is it a sealed AGM battery or a flooded (ie: with caps) battery?
