I've never met a smooth, quiet 2 stroke engine

If it's smooth and quiet you're after electric is the way to go for sure.

4 strokes can be mounted just as securely as a 2 stroke. Now 2 strokes can generally fit into smaller places.
As for the noise our regular 2 stroke builders here can have your engine sounding like a blender.

Don't want electric, but I am interested in a well mounted 4-stroke. Any specific recommendations on the good mounting system?

That's going to depend on your bike and what kind of mount you want, mid frame, rear rack etc

ROTFF!!! AHHH MAAA GERD!! LMFAO!!
Current bike is a GT steel frame, though it is a smaller frame and probably won't fit a 4 stroke. Mid frame is the type of mounting I want, so I need to get a larger steel frame for that. What mid frame mounting are you familiar with that is sufficiently or very sturdy?

Huffy cranbrooks are cheap and strong. Just dont get one with a drink holder. Heard it snaps the frame at the screw holes when they have a drink holder. Granite peak if you want a mountian bike. Cheap and steel both of them.
Finding a reasonable bike is necessary, but the actual motor mount that really does the job properly is the main question.

The case has its mounts built in, they do good. I use angle iron weld to the bike for mounts. So much easier to swap engines when it can be slid over or whatever way to align the chain.
