What's the difference between a Honda Baja XR 250cc and a Honda XR 250cc


What's the difference between a Honda Baja XR 250cc and a Honda XR 250cc?
Hi folks, I would like some advice and information with regards to Honda dirt-bikes. I am living in Cambodia, a beautiful country with temples and stunning countryside. I am wanting to buy a dirt-bike to explore the country, and as most roads outside the capital are dirt, a dirt-bike is the best option. Their are lots of different bikes for sale, from Japan, but I have been told a Honda is the best choice due to quality and maintenance. My budget stretches to 2003 models. The two options are either the "Honda XR 250cc", or the "Honda Baja XR 250cc". Both bikes look very similar, but they must be different? The engine, brakes, folks, exhaust etc. all look very similar. The exterior/fascia are different...the Baja has a larger fuel tank and twin headlights and is black. The XR is red, with single headlamp and small tank. Are these the only differences? Or is their a difference in purpose and performance? What bike would people recommend? Thanks for the information and advice.

suspension and a couple mods.

the baja version is equipped for long distance desert racing, hence the larger fuel tank and the extra and larger lights (I'm assuming the lights are larger on the baja) there are probably some engine modifications also, so the baja is most likely more powerful than the stock 250....p.s. The baja started life as a bone stock xr, it depends on what you want, if you will be doiung a lot of night riding I would go for the baja...heck, I would get the baja If I had to choose.
