Peak TQ and HP does not tell you anything about acceleration. Area under the torque curve is what creates acceleration. Your bike accelerates faster because it generates peak torque over a wider amount of RPMs than his. That's also why it has more HP (torque at higher RPMs = more hp). His bike I'm guessing makes peak TQ only briefly, and low in the RPM range, which is why it has less hp (HP = torque * RPM / 5252). Generating torque at high RPMs is what gives your bike more HP, and generating its torque for a longer amount of time is what gives it faster acceleration.
