Hmm.. if fuel/water emulsion is good, and fuel/gas mix is good, is fuel/gas/water emulsion even better? We may never know...

PS - You're really going to try it on the Ninja? Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a bad idea, but I just didn't see anyone wanting to try this on an exotic-type engine.
Well, water settles in gasoline, so, no.

I don't consider it particularly exotic. It was engineered in the mid-80's. It does run 87 well, and could probably run 85 at sea level, due to the low displacement.

I don't intend to start off with 30%, though. I'll try a 5/95 mix first, and see if there are any ill effects, if not, the following tank will be 10/90. And so on until I start seeing signs that I need to back off.
