I didn't quite understand the question. By definition, an LSA can't have a Vh greater than that number. The 120Kts is a performance limit. There is no "speed limit" imposed on Sport PIlots. If your plane has a Vne higher than 120Kts, you are welcomed to go faster than 120 Kts (in a dive for example).
