I don't know if I understand the point you are trying to make. Isn't that like saying that 100mph is the same as 161kph, or are you saying that a cv is French for EXACTLY 1 hp, so they should say 110cv and not 112cv?
The vast majority of consumers tend to pay attention to only numbers (They do not understand mechanics, only consumers). A higher number gives the feeling that it is better than a lower number. In a globalized world, some terms are globalized too, for those who want to "sell", they will try to find a better number that sells their product. If they cannot find the number that suits them (HP), they will not publish any number... or they will publish some number similar to the competition (Torque)….If you look at the official Yamaha websites in the USA or Canada (reliable countries)….they do not publish HP….they publish the number of holes that the injectors have, the degree of inclination of the valves , …the diameter of the valves, that the pistons are made of forged aluminum….etc, etc….but they do not publish the HP….In less reliable countries (like mine)…..the advertising changes from: -
-) 2010: “New S10, 1200 cm3 110 HP….”. To..
-) 2014: "New S10, 1200 cm3, digital display, 112 CV"......And there are other publications, which ensure that the engine was modified, giving it 2CV more than the previous engine......"Maybe" the valves were modified ….but the power never increased (110HP)

I am not sure if it's like this but here HP and CV are the same...
HP stands for horse power
CV stands for Cavallo = horse. Vapore= steam
Clearly referring to when the power was measured in steam " power"...
And the bike seems to have gone from 110 HP/CV to 112 HP/CV due to valves and pistons difference from 2010....
But you know how reliable those Italians can be...

No, CV is not the same as HP…..
1 CV = 0,9863 HP
1 HP = 1,0138 CV
the difference is minimal… but it exists

At least in my country, in the official Yamaha store, both valves (intake and exhaust), the same valve has been sold since 2012 until 2020

When I said "reliable country", I actually meant that they have laws (and they enforce them) that protect the consumer, against the sale of a product, I was not referring specifically to "the country" or "its people"... …

The "Valves" were not changed.
The Intake and Exhaust "Ports" were revised.

The Yamaha part-number between 2013 and 2014 for the Cylinder-Head changed

23P-11101-08-00 for 2013
2BS-11101-09-00 for 2014

The Camshafts did not change, but the Exhaust System certainly did as well.

I didn't mean nothing actually...
I know sometimes the advertisement try to confuse buyers...
Hopefully you didn't take it in the wrong way.
Italians have rules and stuff too but we are well known to " bend" those rules when is convenient for us ..

When I am trying to look for the model year changes for Super Tenere from start year to till now, none found with consolidated changes. hence I am creating this post to bring em all. Hope this help other current & future owners as a reference.

Please feel free to add your comments. I will keep updating this post with all the findings.

GEN 1 (DP01) - 2010 - 2013
  • Colors
    • 2010 : Viper Blue, Silver Tech
    • 2011 : Impact Blue, Raven
    • 2012 : Impact Blue, Raven
    • 2013 : Matte Gray, Pearl White
  • Improvements & Fixes
    • 2010
      • TBD
    • 2011
      • US Launch
    • 2012
      • TBD
    • 2013
      • CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) improvement (1st time)
  • Recalls
    • 2012/2013
      • Fuel pump quad ring ( Thanks @EricV )
      • Headlight Harness
GEN 2 (DP041/46) - 2014 - 2016
  • Colors
    • 2014 : Matte Gray, Team Yamaha Blue
      • ES Model -> Matte Gray Tank & cowlings & Black Fender
    • 2015 : Candy Red, Matte Silver
      • ES Model -> Candy Red, Matte Silver (in Canada only)
    • 2016 : Raven, 60th Anniversary Yellow
      • ES Model -> Raven
  • Improvements & Fixes
    • 2014
      • Fixed the side stand (without need of folding footrest) and also it was changed from steel to aluminum to save some weight. They are interchangeable.
      • Hazard Flashers
      • LED turn signals
      • New speedo/instrument panel
      • CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) improvement (2nd time)
      • Clutch Basket improvement
      • Improved Intake
      • Handlebar brush guards are standard equipment
      • Drive Mode has been re-calibrated to provide more noticeable difference between the T setting and the S setting.
      • The windscreen has been redesigned to provide superior wind protection with less wind noise, and the height can be adjusted quickly and easily without tools. A tool-less adjustable windscreen mount has been tacked on to the unchanged windscreen mounts ( Thanks @EricV )
      • The handlebar position has been moved 10mm closer to the rider, and 10mm higher, enhancing comfort. new handlebar risers were added with rubber isolation bushings and these changed the position of the bars by those amounts, relative to the rider, compared to the stock position of the prior model. ( Thanks @EricV )
      • Modest increase in horsepower and torque ( Thanks @EricV )
      • Changed the pistons to lighter weight ones and use thinner rings. Saving rotational mass for hoped for efficiency and maybe an attempt to reduce the Gen I tendency to blow by excessive oil at higher rpms. (Thanks @EricV )
      • New ECU mapping (EUROPE models)
      • New ES model
        • Added infill panel - near right side passenger foot peg
        • Adjustable suspension at the push of a button
        • Cruise control
        • Heated Grips as standard. These were available on all Gen I bikes too as an accessory. The heated grips themselves did change and became standard on ES models in 2014. (still an accessory on Std models at this point.) Gen I heated grips use a separate controller. Gen II heated grips are controlled thru the bikes ECU and dash functions. The grips themselves are the same, though may have different connectors. I never had Gen I factory heated grips, but did have Gen II factory heated grips. (Thanks @EricV )
    • 2015
      • cam chain tensioner improvements (3rd time). superseded part number. Fully backwards compatible and because it is a superseded part, the older p/ns are no longer in the system. They didn't create a new part for that bike, they changed the part for ALL Super Teneres. So anyone replacing the CCT will get the newest version. It's not like you need to look for a newer bike to get the newer CCT. (Thanks @EricV )
    • 2016
      • TBD
  • Recalls
    • TBD
GEN 2.5 (DP071) - 2017 - Current

  • Improvements & Fixes
    • 2017
      • went to CANBUS ?
    • 2018
      • New ECU mapping for European Versions for emission norms
      • improved rear wheel rim
    • 2019
      • Rear rim is reinforced
    • 2020
      • TBD
    • 2021
      • No Base model, ES only

I doubt there will any changes other than cosmetics. I just purchased a new 2023 and it differed from my 2021 in that it has clear coated paint, black anodized upper fork legs, and seems to have a stiffer rear shock spring mounted.

Hola amigos, una pregunta sobre las versiones.
¿Qué opinas sobre el comportamiento de los motores en cuanto al par y la respuesta del acelerador a baja velocidad?
In my case I miss the throttle response at low rpms of the first edition model
