I would say that reason indicates thought and rationality. Whim indicates the absence of thought and reason, you do it because you want to and for no other reason.

Reason aims to justify choice.. . Whim aims to satisfy desire.. . The difference is teleological (with respect to goal or outcome).. . Good question.
