As stated in the title, I have a 2004 Aprilia Tuono, and I am open to trading it for a 2006 or newer Buell Ulysses. If you are interested in exchanging information please contact me and we can work something out. Thanks. Here are the particulars on my current ride: Located in Burlington, NC Zip: 27217 • Lava Red color • Akrapovic titanium slip on exhaust with installed EPROM chip tuned specifically for the Aprilia Tuono. • Chain and sprockets converted to a 520 pitch with a 16 tooth front sprocket, and 44 tooth rear sprocket (both AFAM), and Regina chain. • Pirelli Diablo Corsa III dual compound tires mounted for approximately 2000 miles. • Stock frame sliders replaced with Motovation pucks for better styling, and increased protection if needed. • Safety wired oil drain plug, oil fill plug, oil filter cover. (required for Cornerspeed track day) • Coolant changed to Distilled water and Water Wetter • Only Repsol Racing 4T synthetic oil used in changes since I have been the owner. • Evoluzione performance plug wires and NGK plugs • Evoluzione fender eliminator -Stomp Grip installed -It will be sold with stock mirrors in place. Here is your chance to own one of the most powerful street fighters ever produced. Fitted with the same engine as the legendary Mille, the Tuono boasts a more upright riding position for the pilot with factory bar risers, and a gold anodized handlebar for comfort on any ride. The front fairing offers the pilot a nice pocket of air if needed for the fully tucked position, and the Rotax 60° v-twin engine never disappoints when the throttle is twisted. The Tuono has been rated best street fighter by multiple magazines and motorcycle websites numerous times since its inception. I am the third owner of this motorcycle, and I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute spent piloting this machine. I have attended one track day event with this motorcycle which is the reason for the minimal safety wiring I described. I personally maintain all of my motorcycles with the utmost attention to detail, and quality. Nearly every time I ride, I will be stopped, and asked about this spectacular machine. The glowing red paint, and race inspired styling will always attract a unique crowd. The only flaw you may notice is a slight chip in the paint on the right rear cowling. I bought the Tuono with the knowledge of this, and it was explained that a previous owner mistakenly leaned it against a pole while moving it in his garage. Close-up shot of paint chip
