motorway. Enduro capabilities are important, asphalt are not.

My Honda is perfect for all the work and weekend use. I don’t use it to it’s
full capabilites. I don't take it to it's limits. Therefore I have never fallen
with it while doing enduro for example (just fell once on the gasoline station
when starting up the engine...). I don’t do jumps or pull it on the hind wheel.
Don’t know how to do any of those things. I just use it to get from point A
to B and get the job done. It is a working horse to me.

Any opinions?

Since the Honda 250 works for you...keep it and use it for the field work.
For those times you need to go long distances on the road...use a bike like the Suzuki V-Strom...it can handle a bit of off-road but it does very well on the road.
There is no bike that does both dirt and street well. Don't believe the hype. You need two bikes...and that's ok.
