You have just described the Honda CBR250R. It is the only stock bike that can do that. A Rebel or a TU250 will be tapped out at 70 mph. The CBR is still singing. There aren't any used ones yet but there are some left over 2012's for about $3,800. Ninja250's can get close to 75 mpg and good used ones are around for $2,000 but I don't like carburetors. The new 300 is a nice bike with more power and fuel injection but won't match the Honda on fuel consumption and has less room around the tank for taller rider's knees.
