Gearing will probably make more of a difference than the weight of the bike.
When I take my weight, my bag (including 2 locks) a couple of extra pounds on my bike is actually fairly insignificant.
The engine generally strikes me as more important than the bike, and is cheaper for me to eat less food than to buy new parts.
I tend to look to longevity/durability, comfort then weight, aesthetics come way down the list
