Granted that is probably not the finished article, but the 916 had a very organic style with rounded cans, rear sprocket, nose, fairings, bulbous tank and fairings, swooping swing arm.

the 999 is very angular, with slashes in the front fairing, triangular tank, creased fairings and seat unit

my problem with the bike in the picture is its a mixture of the two, so its not a coherent design. The swing arm/sprocket/cans are 916 (organic), the bit above the exhaust with the rear lights, the nose/mirrors/main fairings are very angular like the 999

so now having analysed it a bit more, there is no way it will look like that
