He's a short and trim guy. The weight seems accurate to me.
I agree.
In base form, Vegeta isn't a character thats meant to have huge, bulging muscles. Instead, he has a toned trim build. You have to also factor in his height which is likely around 5' 3 to 5". Realize that for such a height; 160 lbs (of lean muscle) is ideal and certainly plausible.

If that's a manga statement (which I think it is, but I'm too lazy to go look), then that's how much he weighs. Which isn't implausible. We have no idea how Ki affects a body's physiology in the DB universe (in reference to SSJ states and the increased muscle mass/weight), but I don't see any reason why 120 in his base state is unreasonable. He's a tiny guy.

I know that before talking about tons, Doc Briefs mentioned something saying he may weigh 60 kilos-18 tons. I don't know how much a metric ton is or how much 60 kilos equals but maybe it was referring to that.

If I remember right, a metric ton is 2000 lbs. it may be 1000 though... someone fill in my mistakes?
Just remember, everytime something bad is happening to you. Something even worse is happening to someone else.

Yeah, pretty close, I believe 1 metric ton is equal to around 2205 lbs.
And 60 kgs is around 130 lbs.

Dr. Briefs didn't state Vegeta was 60kg. He said it in the context of an "If-then" statement, that "Theoretically, if you weighed this much, you would be this much under this gravity..."
No ones weight is ever stated in the Manga.

I do believe they're stated in the Daizenshuus, which are near-canon at least.

One metric "tonne" is 1000 kg, or 1,000,000 g.
One imperial (or 'short') "ton" is 2000 lbs.
One tonne is 1.1 tons.

Probably. If anyone can find nd scan that, that'll finish up this thread pretty quickly.

That's what I thought - thanx for filling me in... are you going by the Viz translation or another?

Also note that he used the exact same example for Gokû when he wanted to train in 100 times Earth's gravity.
