Here are some of the major differences between my CRF250X, and the CRF250R (Race) version of the bike.

CRF250R has a more aggressive camshaft
CRF250R has a higher compression piston
CRF250R is about 25 pounds lighter in curb weight

CRF250X has a wider ratio transmission
CRF250X has a side door for easier access to the air filter
CRF250X has a larger fuel tank
CRF250X has an electric starter, with a kick starter backup
CRF250X has a headlight
CRF250X has a tail light (mine also has a brake light)
CRF250X has a kick stand

Because of the headlight and tail light, it was very easy to get a license plate for the CRF250X in Idaho. I merely needed to add the following items.

Hydraulic brake switch on rear master cylinder
Horn (clown horn is legally acceptable)
One mirror
