A moped may be cheap and get you where you want but for under € 1000 you can buy an old but neat 400 or 500 cc motorcycle.
For touring in Europe, I would prefer a 400cc or more motorcycle because you can ride all roads and keep up with other traffic and even (if necessary) ride on the autobahn or Autostrada and don't have to worry about cycle paths and local moped rules.
It is a lot safer to be able to ride the same speed as the other traffic and not be overtaken by big trucks and cars all the time.
Also, you have a little more luggage room and it is more comfortable then a small moped.
Next to my GoldWing GL1200, I have a Honda CB400T from 1987 that I bought a few years ago for only a few hundred euro's that I ride regular and enjoy very much so I know where I'm talking about.
