While the CBT might be restricted to the UK alone there are a number of countries which allow you to ride up to 125cc on your full car licence. The problem comes that there is no database of which do and which don't. As far as I can see the simplest way is to try and find scooter hire companies in the country you're interested in and then to see if they will went to people with car licences only. This is pretty hit and miss though as not all operators work to their national regulations, they may instead rent according to their insurance company's policies. Or it may be that they're more interested in your money and will say yes to anything. It's one of my "never quite got there" projects to get a full database going that has accurate licencing regulations.

Also you don't need a license for a 50 cc in Germany although they are slower than the ones in the UK

They'll be the same as UK scooters, they're all governed by a standardized EU policy these days. 50cc touring would be a different matter again, but there's people like Wan Lee who rode all the way round the US, and I recently found the travel blog of someone who toured France on one. Perhaps that's more akin to bicycle touring than motorbike touring though.
