Agreed - but it's amazing how good of numbers they can do with some aero help or careful riding in the right conditions.
If I was going to the trouble and expense of building an aero mpg cruiser I'd skip the Ninja and go for a CBR as a base. I also agree about finding a crashed one to use. It would take a bit more effort, but they are out there if you know where to look.
