Why do cruiser motorcycles, with engines >1300cc, accelerate slower than 800cc

racing bikes with say 800cc's? Just curious why there is a disconnect between engine displacement (in cc's) between "cruisers" like Vtx1300c and "street fighters" like Yamaha FZR type bikes. isn't power directly related to acceleration? Are the bike weights that different?
