kawiyowee, here is my impressions comparing the P650 and 750.
In either low or hi gear the 650 takes some throttle to get it rolling, trying that same amount of throttle on the 750 will end up with a monster wheelie, it has that much more torque and power and seems better off the start.

Kissofdeath, while on vacation I found a nice wide, straight gravel road. My wife and I drag raced, she steadily pulled away like I was in low gear!!! Do you know what's really sad? I had the throttle limitted to half on the 750. The power of this bike actually scares me a bid, in either low or hi gear, and at what ever speed, if you bury the throttle the front end gets VERY light, even at 50 miles per hour.

IdahoPrairie: I would take what KOD said to heart. There can a lot of difference in speed of same model Prairies, bike to bike. I know that's true of the P650's. There's some slow ones that you can't get to wheelie no matter what you do to them. Then there's some that will wheelie stock.
All we're saying is, make sure you don't get a 'slow' 750. Ride the new one next to your first one before signing for it.
On my other post, I was just saying that the P700 is no slouch, and it would be a better comparison to the BF than your 650. It might even beat the BF on trails due to the SRA and better handling.
Whatever....it's your moolah and your choice....have fun, take care of your shoulder and your honey.
btw: You've taken some pretty good whacks at 650's....I'll have to tell you, my boy, there is no stock 360 that will take my 650 on any kind of trail, tight or not.

ok, you promised her you would not ride it yet you were blasting around on fire roads, hitting corners the same way you wrecked last time? On a machine with IRS? Be safe out there.
Good review though. Looks like the BF is a brute.

As a profesional mountain guide I figured I would have been killed by now running some big whitewater or dead on some high altitude mountain somewhere.
