what's the route? The salar is way less than 100km across. If you are talking of riding from S.P. de Atacama, Chile, up to Salar de Uyuni and ending in Uyuni, then roughly 350 km - but this distance has been mentioned many times before so you are just asking questions, not expending effort searching for information contained herein.

You can't hang with them in spots, but then in others, they are way slower than you. You never travel at the same speed.
But generally, you can figure out where to go by following tracks, but its a bit confusing in spots.

hotels?
You must be asking about Lago Colorado? They basically exist for the jeepers, but you can find a spot there.
There are other "hostels" along the route at various places - spots for a few bodies. I'm sure that they'll take your money, provide a place indoors to sleep.
hotels!

sure - no wild animals, no muggers and robbers running around. Will your bike start in the morning, after sitting out in the cold and wind all night? Will you start in the morning, after sitting out in the cold and wind all night?
if you want to camp, it'll likely be the loneliest, most remote camping you've ever done.

This information is contained on the official government websites as well as other places, which indicates you haven't done simple research.

90 days at a time, but the multiple entry visa is good over a 10 year period I believe. Its been a while since I read the official government website on this.

small, one man operation. I don't think you can check your bike in there. i covered this in a similar HUBB thread - including gps coordinates - you can search for it and read up on this for yourself.
