Absolutely. Decreasing the unsprung mass and rotational mass is a big thing on smaller hp bikes!
I'm not sure on the exact change in weight from switching to my new wheels (including switching to radial tires), but it does feel a tad bit zippier when accelerating. It could be placebo effect, but it just feels like it gets up to speed a little easier.
