THe aerodynamic drag reduction you get from using the plastic frame, is compensated by the added weight for start-stopping the bike.
An aerodynamic frame like that makes sense if your cruising speed exceeds 45MPH. A 110cc cruises best between 35-40MPH, at about 3-4k RPM.
Taking it beyond 40MPH will hurt MPG.
I would think that a 110 can get 125MPG easily.
When maintaining 35-40MPH it might even reach 150MPG.
200MPG is a bit optimistic, unless the engine is ran in the 2,5k rpm range, if it could pull the load..

Which is where the aero fairing comes in.... reduce the drag and the frontal area so you need less power to push you through the air the same speed or have more power available to go faster.
A CT`110 Honda, pretty similar to a Madass has 9.5 bhp max but with the right fairing should be able to tour at 55 or 60 mph.
