There have been a number of BMWs road raced over the years. A blown BMW won the 1939 Isle of Man TT. But they seemed to have created a "sedate tourer" image that has permeated our pschye to the point that I, for one, can't picture a BMW cafe racer.
The bike in the background is a good example of gettig the air off you smoothly. I'm not 100% certain but I believe its a 750 Triumph.

I'm rapidly approaching the toothless wobbly phase of life but I love clip ons. Some years ago I had an SRX with the clip ons mounted above the top triple tree and hated them. I put them here they belonged and felt a lot better for doing it. I was still comfortable and they didn't hit the tank. As Geeto67 says explore all options before you choose.
