I am looking at a 2004 Tuono with 18,000 miles. Is this high miles for this bike? What should I worry about and/or look for? Thanks.

18,000 isn't a lot of miles for the year it's just that some people don't ride them and that's what every body wants an unused bike. My 2003 which I have owned for nearly 5 years has done 24,500 and runs as sweat now as it ever has (for sale as it happens) don't worry about the miles just make sure it looks like it's been cared for.
I have an 07 with 16k miles. Never had a problem so far. Main thing to check is state of chain/cogs and whether it's had a valve service done as these could cost add up

ahm oan a late 58 plate wi ower 14K miles oan mine so reckon 18K ower 6 years isnae hard goin. A weel looked efter an serviced yin wi higher mileage is aye better thin a ****** aboot n neglected low miler in ma book. The worst for machinery is sittin idle.
What he sed
