Comparing apples with apples, you can throw a lighter apple further with less effort.
Do we really need to have such a long thread on this?
Your lighter bike probably has faster tires. So not an apples to apples comparison.
And you can throw a heavier apple further than a light one (momentum versus air drag).
Anything else you wanna get wrong today?
