I don't consider myself to be a "fashion-conscious" kind of guy, but if I have several alternatives that fulfill the function side, I'd want it to look good, and the V-Stream doesn't, imo. When I was shopping around to replace the post stamp that the bike comes with (for a bike with these touring capabilities, anyway) I heard good things of the V-Stream, but I saw it mounted on a 1400GTR on my last trip to Tuscany and found it just plain ugly. Talking to the guy, he agreed, but told me that it works perfect. I found the Givi, up to about 100 mph, does the same job, so I went for it, and I'm happy with my purchase.
Good luck!
