If she is that close to the dunes then what in the hell is there left to talk about. It wont take that long to get used to a banshee if you have any concept of a clutch and shifting whatsoever, and for fouled plugs come on. I have had my shee for over 10 years and can probably count the fouled plugs on one hand. If you have the cash and can shift gears I think you should go with a new stock shee. Pretty tame and you wont be left wanting in a month (except pipes, carbs, port, reeds, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
My first quad was a warrior and one trip to the dunes and i was done with it.
