Definitly.
At a guess my fork weighs 500+ g. So I could drop 150g in a heartbeat.
As much money as I piss away on bling parts for an initial bike build. I hate spending on upgrades, when the part in question functions perfectly.
Its on the list though. Getting a Racemaster below 6.5Kg, while maintaining its drive and handling stiffness, would be impressive. Even if I do say so myself.
My favourate thing to do now is ride it directly after the Cargo bike, which is 3 times the weight, and has a spongy internal geared hub + internal geared crank drivetrain. First time I did this I shot half way across the road in shock :D
