If you fly above the maximum speed aloowed for lowered gear, you will most likely damage that gear also. There is a definite reason for
those speed IRL.
Also you will encounter a higher fuel consumption and if you are not careful you can end up like this

P.s. Background story for the A310 crash: Gear wouldn't retract after TO, PIC 'decided' to continue the flight to Munich and ran out of fuel just before reaching the runway at Vienna (LOWW).
One has to remark that he flew over several airports with available facilities but decided he 'could make it' home. As can be seen - he DID NOT.
P.P.s. Pilot was sentenced to 6 months on probation.
