Just to jump in on what /u/kittennought has said, you do NEED a good jacket, boots etc. If you're worried about carrying gear around, invest in a topbox to store your helmet and jacket so you don't have to carry them around with you. Unfortunately heavy gear is part of owning and riding a motorcycle. Also, make sure that you get boots with ankle support. Jeans are okay, leather/armored trousers are better.
I love the Bestem 929, I've had two of them now.

. 3M High Reflective tape. This stuff is incredible if you ride at night.
. Top case with extra brake light. The extra storage is super handy, and the extra light and surface area make you easier to see. Plus, you can apply more highly reflective tape to the flat black parts of the case!
. New full face helmet, from a good brand, and with good reviews.
. Full tune-up with oil change, air filter, spark plug. Check your brake pads, tire pressure, and tread depth while you're at it.
Get locking luggage. It's not cheap, but once you have it you'll wonder why you ever rode without it. Givi makes great stuff, but you pay for it. There are much cheaper options that work just as well, for example I've had this case on my V-Strom since '08 (~30K miles) without any problems. Givi is pretty much the only game in town when it comes to affordable locking side cases though. I use their E21 side cases: they're the narrowest side cases they make. You can stuff a jacket into the e21, it's snug but it'll fit.
2012 DL650A owner here. The Suzuki version of the SW-Motech mounting racks that we have are actually not quite standard - at least, the trunk rack isn't. Suzuki modified it specifically because they don't want you to to be able to easily mount the box without buying it from Suzuki. Canadians got more color selection and the trunk came with the bike, not sold as a ridiculously overpriced after-purchase addon. Bastards. I just got one of these instead:

Way cheaper, only have to drill 1 hole in the adventure rack and you can attach the bestem rack with the hardware that's included. Super easy and sexy.
