Waters has also ridden for the Yoshimura Racing Team where he finished second in the 2011 Suzuka 8 Hours aboard a Suzuki GSX-R1000 and represented them in three rounds of the Superbike World Championship.[2]

In 2013, he moved across to the British Superbike Championship and initially raced for the Milwaukee Yamaha race team but was replaced by Tommy Bridewell for the final few rounds of the season.[citation needed] After having piloted a BMW S1000RR at the Le-Mans 24-hour race he joined the Halsall Race Team for the final two rounds of the British Superbike Championship aboard a Kawasaki ZX-10R. Waters ended the season in 13th position overall.[citation needed]
