This is correct - however, it is 90 days total, not a single period that starts when you enter Schengen.
So you can spend e.g. 30 days in Schengen, then go to Morocco and spend 30 days there (60 total); come back, spend 30 days in Schengen (90 total) and go to Turkey and Georgia; spend 30 days there (120 total), come back for another 30 days in Schengen (150 total); go to the UK for 30 days, and you've reached 180 days since you first entered Schengen, and your counter resets to zero.

Bulgaria and Romania are also outside the Schengen zone.

They are out of Schengen, but in the EU - so worth checking if that affects your 90 days. It might still count. For me, as an EU citizen, going to Romania or Bulgaria means going through a border check, but I can still do it with just my national ID card, I have free EU-wide roaming there, my home health insurance is valid there, etc.

I'll admit that I ignored the issue entirely when my bike was in Europe. It certainly spent more than 90 consecutive days inside the Schengen zone on multiple occasions

Yup, the vehicle TVIP is separate from your personal days within Schengen. It may be different from country to country, but when I asked the Estonian authorities about a non-resident's foreign-plated vehicle, they said it was good for a year before they start caring.
