If you are comparing the performance of 2 complete bikes (not just their engines), then surely it makes a lot of sense to look at torque values at the wheel instead of the real or calculated values of torque values at the crankshaft. Once you collect up that data, then to fairly compare the acceleration performance of the bikes you only need to additionally factor in their weights.
I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff, so I've probably missed something obvious.
