The V Stroms have the best standard equipment lights on the market so you might not need auxiliary lights .
They also have more than enough alternator power for heated jacket and gloves for one person , two up might be a problem but you can use LEDs for taillight and switch off one headlight for daytime use .
Later DL650s have 400w alternators ,same power as the F650GS .
You just have to decide where you want to ride , if it's very severe off road ,then you need a lighter, more nimble bike than the VStrom .
You won't find the perfect bike so just take a few for a test ride and see which you like best .
