Positively a bike is the way to go. Though it may not be permitted to ride in the paddock. Doubt anyone will reprimand but should only walk with it. It gets crowded.
Go photo gonzo if thats your thing. Place is huge and you want to scope out the fast back areas, both inside and outside Canada corner, inside and outside of the carousel, T3, of course outside of T5 but do catch them flying long before that and on the straight. T6-7, Hurry downs... all terrific spectators delight. (Years back at this event, it was a hoot when I got passed by a McLaren F1 car..... on my right.... on that straight just cresting and before 5. Other highlight was scrubbing all four and right behind a Howmet turbine in the carousel. Good lord.)
There's infield camping for all kind - tent / camper. Consider Plymouth Rock campgrounds. The times have mellowed there and now very nice with a pool, showers. Leave your vehicle at the campground and ride the bike to the track, fast in or out.
Don't miss the Can-am cars parade on the roadway into town and Siebkens. My brother got his nutz off driving (revving) one in. hehe-
