Is there anything along those lines?
Go back to the 1970's and get a Honda CL200 or CL350, they are not dirt bikes but are more the road bike of the time with dual sport tires, higher exhaust and higher suspension.
Road bikes don't hold up well going off road and off road bikes are not good on the highway for long trips because the ridding position is not the same.

A lot of the off road and trial bikes will work fine for short commuting in town because you are sitting more upright, like the Honda CFR250.
