If did 18k miles in a year in my 111r and loved it.
Eventually made it an Elige , and as long as you don't get carried away with sports exhausts then it's quite civilised.
Comfort was better than any of the s1s and not bad on track, changing for and wheels and suspension made a big difference. Driving David Kyles Exige shows just how many changes you can make to that engine and ecu now. Miles better.

Is the comfort and refinment of a 111R any better than a S2 111S? Apart from the engine they are pretty much identical and you said you have already owned a S2 111S.

As long as you do not ask too much from the K, (no more than 150ish BHP) and service it well, I do not think grenading is really a concern.

That and I found mine to be quite comfortable but Mike can comment more on that as he did frolic in it.
