Simple.  I've been riding & racing dirtbikes since the 1960's and no other bike can do for me what the KX500 does.  :D  Everything.  I can ride it slowly on tight trails and yet go so fast it almost makes my heart stop.  It has a comfortable wide seat and great suspension out of the box.  I never worry about gearing and I never run out of power or speed.  I rode a nasty 100+ mile enduro earlier this year where half the riders dropped out and I was able to finish because I could use the awesome motor to make up time and I could sit my old ass down and conserve energy.  Once you take care of some minor problems, (crappy chain and upper pipe mount) maintainance is practically zero.  Take some time to set it up for your needs and you will be a happy man.
