The Suzuki DRZ-400SM is the best dual sport for the interstates, for $6,700 retail, and its tires are just for pavement, although it is possible to put tires more for the dirt on it:

The Kawasaki KLX250SF also has tires just for pavement for $5,000 retail, and is a good choice if you are going to stay on 55 mph speed limit roads and off the faster interstates, along with the similar Yamaha:
