EXUP Worldwide was born from the ashes of the original EXUP Brotherhood – the definitive forum for all those who have interest in Yamaha FZ, FZR, and YZF motorcycles.
I have one of these in the shop at the moment. They're pretty awesome,
it's the biggest motor in the watercraft industry and it has a centrifugal
supercharger too... now if only we can squeeze that into a '95 exup chassis...

June 9, 2009 -- Yamaha continues its reign at the top of the PWC racing world, with rider Chris MacClugage, aboard his Yamaha FZR™, winning Rounds 5 & 6 of the APBA® Watercross National Tour this weekend in Myrtle Beach, SC. MacClugage has won every Pro-Am Runabout Stock Class moto this season.
MacClugage’s domination of the races was evident this weekend as he lapped the field in the second moto of the Pro Stock class, and went on to enter his stock FZR in the Open Class to compete against highly modified watercraft - only to emerge the winner in that race as well.
“We’ve already proven that the Yamaha FZR can completely dominate the APBA® Pro-stock class, but today we’ve taken it a step further and shown that it can also win the Open Class, even against heavily modified skis,” MacClugage said following the wins.
“I already told Yamaha,” said Bill Chapin of R&D Performance Products. “The FZR is one great platform, and we’ve only just begun.”
