That's a question that goes round and round in circles amongst VStrom owners. But as a rider of a very similar height to you, I would say that with the addition of a taller after market screen (my VStrom has a GIVI Aeroflow screen fitted) you can get a very good degree of wind protection.
These days, unless it is pouring with rain, I prefer to ride with my helmet visor up. I can do that easily on the VStrom and actually rode that way on a 450 mile motorway dash home from Scotland.
The only way you will know for sure if you get the protection you are after is to test ride a bike. If it has a standard screen, then that will be a good test, knowing that the wind protection can be improved.
