Nope, the engine in a Thou' is the same as a TLR, but, they de-tuned it and made the midrange better as too many kept dying on TL's

it was the trying ot put down the power lent over that usually was the TL's undoing. The rear shock isn't a conventional shock and it didn't work on a bike the TL's size and with it's power. So, when they put the engne in the Thou' they decided to curtail power as it looked as if Suzuki we responding to market pressure. You can still get 130+bhp from a Thou', just need the bits and some time
