Most road bikes are going to be (2, 3) x (9 ,10) depending on the level of bike and options.
I assume you're thinking drop bar road bike?
New, from a shop, a decent one with sora/tiagra(I much prefer minimum tiagra shifters for ergo) components starts around $7-800. I'd highly recommend getting one with a carbon front fork.
Trek 1.2
Fuji Roubaix
Specialized Allez
Many, many others, all depends on what your LBS deals in.
