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?

Higher revs means more power strokes per second, hence more power if all other things are equal.
