I’m using WP 5.1.1 and BuddyPress 4.2.0

Is there a way to put the option to create a new forum on the BP menu?

You’d need to ask in the bbPress forums for a definitive answer as they are the ones best place to answer questions relating to forums – https://bbpress.org/forums/.

However to the best of my knowledge bbPress forums ( as opposed to forums created in BuddyPress groups ) can only be created by site admin, users can’t create them and there is no front end interface to allow users to create forums on their own.

So you could place the link in the BuddyPress menu, but for most users it would come back as not allowed.
