Help with Motorcycles

For a variety of reasons, mostly owning to the obscene costs of gas prices & the impractical nature of trying to run a subcompact or hybrid on the road I live on, I'm looking to a motorcycle.

Features I'm looking for:
-fuel economy no less than 40/mpg & a tank no smaller than 3 gallons
-comfort for regular, relativelly long treks (two to three hours)
-ability to handle poorly maintained dirt roads & highways
-cost, under $10k.

....it'd be nice if the bike were made by an American or European manufacturer, but it's not a must-have.

The Bike I've found which comes closest to the mark is the Triumph Scrambler (pictured below).

....but if anyone has any suggestions as to particular models, makes, or recommendations, I'd be glad to hear them.
