i'm not sure about this year. They used to use BMW motorbikes

Those are BMWs. think they have different models for camera crews and
for "spliters".

Also, with team radios on the riders, isn't a chalkboard listing
time splits a bit archaic?

Yes. Isn't it beautiful?

Anyone know which make/model of bike is used for the yellow bike that gives
the riders time splits? I've got some guesses, but can't get a good,
definitive look.

It's a V-Strom (DL1000) model by Suzuki.

specifically remembered to look during stages...

I've got friends who ride both the V-Strom and the BMW at NRC events
and they love both of them for motor work. IMO the most important
things are quickness and agility in the bike and both of those are
great for that.
