Yamaha TT500 in Movies

Captain America
It must be a light bike with such small drumbrakes and light frontfork, also the rear sprocket is large and the rear shocks are long. So it probably is based on a off-road bike Made for movie ? I was under the impression it was a customized Yamaha TT 500, but I can't recall the source...
