With 6.5 gal fuel in the header tank ( max is 13 gal ) and a passenger, my 2S is 2" forward of the rear most CG, and I can tell you that it's a handful on take off, the tail drops noticeably. To counter this I increase my take off speed to 70 mph or top off the fuel tank. Your results may vary.--------------I'm 240lbs and the last passenger was 135 lbs.
