390 motor reliability/durability?

ASKKTM

I live in the states and have a zx6r, and have always loved supermotos but the 690 i didn’t love, seemed “too much” to abuse as real supermoto if that makes sense. also i’m a smaller guy and frame was not only tall but very bulky i felt. and klx230/300 makes about half the power of the 390. so with announcement of the 390 smcr i’m STOKED as i hope its a perfect middle ground and has great numbers on paper for what im looking for. however im not very knowledgeable about KTM as in the states u dont see many of their street bikes nor do many places sell them. will the 390 be happy doing wheelies and being higher in rpms to fit a supermoto lifestyle? do they last long and prove to be reliable? any concerns to watch for? i’m aware the 2024+ has had updates and been bored bigger so might be hard to know longevity yet but would love some insight!
