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?

You can call the torque-curve “flat” but it just means the graph curve is flatter than average. There is more torque at the higher RPM’s
