If torque determines a motorcycles accelaration, why does it pull harder at higher revs (bike with flat torque curve)

Question

i started riding a CB500F, it has a flat torque curve, pretty much the same torque at 3k and 9k rpm, then why does the bike (in the same gear) accelate much faster at higher than lower revs?

Answer 1

Torque at the wheels determines acceleration. The figures you see quoted are for the engine. We use the gearbox to convert the power og the engine to basically whatever torque we want at the wheels.

So it’s the power an engine makes through an rpm range that determines acceleration.
