Quicker engine pick-up, more responsive throttle. You won't 'gain' power, but as your engine will waste less energy accelerating the flywheel as the revs rise, you can gain a little bit of overall acceleration. Also help cornering, as a heavy spinning flywheel acts as a gyroscope - ie doesn't want to change direction when you move it. Lose some mass and this effect is reduced.

Oh - forgot to add it sounds damn good when you blip the throttle too :D
