I seriously doubt it! I don't have personal experience with the K7, but have had 3 K2s and they scraped very easily, especially if you are "getting it on". If 2 up or rear springs a bit weak, it will be worse. It's been a while, but IIRC the sidestand touched down first, unless the rear pegs were folded down. If you check out similar bikes, you will probably find the forward ( downward pointing in the retracted position) face of the sidestand will  have a flat ground on it.
