I would imagine pretty good and some way into 3 figures.
Its not like the stock Ninja has the aerodynamics of a garden shed.
With my "Silveraero" 2005 Ninjette/Aerotrunk bike I'm doing that. It's a stock 2005 EX250 that I have raised the gearing ( to 15/37) , faired in the front wheel and bungee-cord mounted the aerotrunk on. So far I've gotten a best tankfill average of 111 mpg.
