The name of that bike just throws me off. Orca at least to me implies big/heavy/slow/cumbersome etc.. that frame looks none of those. The amount of cash it would take to get one might be big/heavy/slow/cumbersom etc. but thats about it.

I thought so too for a while. Here's Wikipedia's description of the killer whale:

The Orca or Killer Whale (Orcinus orca), less commonly, Blackfish or Seawolf, is the largest species of the oceanic dolphin family (Delphinidae). .... Orcas are highly social .... The sophisticated social behaviour, hunting techniques, and vocal behaviour of Orcas have been described as manifestations of culture.
And the seat collar seems to be an attempt at imitating the mammal's dorsal fin.
