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

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?

How do you know the bike is accelerating faster at 9000 RPM? Did you actually measure it or is it just a feeling? Because it the laws of physics are pretty clear on this subject 😉
