At the end of the day it's a 250 and that is never going to be its strong point, there are many machines 2 and 3 times that displacement that would struggle under prolonged hiway use .

There are quite a few 250s that will run the interstates at 70+ all day long. There's not many dual sport/enduros that will do it. The main ones is the Yamaha WR250 and the Kawasaki KLX250. There are others but those are the ones I see posted about the most. Both are available as road legal and dirt bike only models.
