I'm sure there are more experienced riders on here that could better and more accurately comment on this, but I think Jiggles has it right. 50 lbs is 13.3% more weight. In the twisties, at least, that must feel significantly different. Certainly noticeable.
If you look at it another way, 13.3% more horsepower on a stock Baby Ninja 300 would take the power from 34 to 38.5 hp. I think that would be noticeable, at the least.
