Maddington Motorcycle Wreckers will have the solution: buy a dirtbike! If you're seriously thinking of tackling sand the type Bob is talking about, the Ninja sounds like a real chore with the suspension setup you currently have. Bob brings up a couple of things you will encounter including the front end digging in and a lot of paddling due to the tires and weight of the bike. If you have hard sand you'll be good, but anything like Bob went through on the Dream and you'll be paddling. That's hard work and not fun. A little xr200 would be nice for your purposes. Barring that, I would just see what the Ninjette is capable of as is and see what you have to mod. There's no way to know until you take it out and get it stuck, the weakest link will break first.
