It'll rev quicker due to the reduced inertia, and will help acceleration.
But on the street, it will be more difficult to launch from a stop and easier
to stall especially on hills.
I personally have not had any experience with a lightened flywheel.

  I noticed one of those racer parts for sale is a lightweight flywheel. Any
  advantage to using a lightweight flywheel on a street 1600?

  Cheers,
