I went and checked out numbers for the Z1000 considering the Z and Ninja are mechanically identical. On the Z1000 forum guys are seeing anything from low 30's to approaching 100 mpg (but that is rare). Its all dependent on rider style
~30% of Z1000 owners fail to crack 35 mpg, but most will settle between 40-50 mpg..
although the Ninja1 should do a bit better because of its slippery fairing.
