Best somewhat-beginner bike that can also hit the highway

Hello :)

I’m familiar with riding dirt bikes in the desert and on trails but the biggest bike I’ve ever ridden on was a 125. I’m a short woman and want something I’m going to feel comfortable with riding on the highway, but not too big to where it will be overwhelming as I haven’t ridden in a few years due to some injuries and just want to get comfortable back on a bike.

My highway usage will be 20ish miles or so each way so not too far and it will likely always be in traffic (California commute lol) but I still want it to feel okay going at least 65-70 mph if I need.

Please help 😭

(Also I will be practicing for a while on normal streets before even attempting the highway lol)
